More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Some gave me soft words and some blunt, some made excuses, some promises, some only lied. In the end words are just wind.
George R. R. Martin
Why do the Gods make kings and queens if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?
George R. R. Martin
We only make peace with our enemies. That's why it's called making peace.
George R. R. Martin
There are two kinds of writers. There are architects and gardeners. The architects do blueprints before they drive the first nail. The gardeners just dig a hole and plant the seed and see what comes up.
George R. R. Martin
As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.
George R. R. Martin
All dwarfs may be bastards yet not all bastards are dwarfs.
George R. R. Martin
An artist has an obligation to tell the truth. [...] that the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves. We are the monsters. (And the heroes too). Each of us has within himself the capacity for great good, and great evil.
George R. R. Martin
We'll need to make a litter to carry him, said Osha. No use, said Luwin. I'm dying, woman. You can't, said Rickon angrily. No you can't. Beside him, Shaggydog bared his teeth and growled. The maester smiled. Hush now, child, I'm much older than you. I can . . . die as I please.
George R. R. Martin
The man who fears losing has already lost.
George R. R. Martin
When Maester Aemon heard him sing, he said his voice was honey poured over thunder.
George R. R. Martin
We're all the heroes of our own stories. So, when I am inside the head of a character who would otherwise be considered a villain, I have a great deal of affection for that character and I'm trying to see the world and the events through their eyes.
George R. R. Martin
All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes
George R. R. Martin
For men, the answer was always the same and never farther away than the nearest sword. For a woman, a mother, the way was stonier and harder to know.
George R. R. Martin
No mortal man could frighten him, no more than the darkness could, nor the bones of his soul, the grey and grisly bones of his soul.
George R. R. Martin
He did not know which was more painful, the waking or the sleeping. When he slept, he dreamed: dark disturbing dreams of blood and broken promises. When he woke, there was nothing to do but think, and his waking thoughts were worse than nightmares.
George R. R. Martin
It is being common-born that is dangerous, when the great lords play their game of thrones.
George R. R. Martin
If I took it away, no doubt I'd find a morningstar hidden under your pillow within a fortnight. Try not to stab your sister, whatever the provocation.
George R. R. Martin
I can be humbler than anyone.
George R. R. Martin
Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
George R. R. Martin
Historical fiction is not history. You're blending real events and actual historical personages with characters of your own creation.
George R. R. Martin
