You are an honest and honorable man...Ofttimes I forget that. I have met so few of them in my life.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes there is no happy choice, Sam, only one less grievous than the others. - Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
A cold wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things.
George R. R. Martin
She had killed him with a whisper, and she would kill two more before she was through. I’m the ghost in Harrenhal, she thought. And that night, there was one less name to hate.
George R. R. Martin
When the sun has set, no candle can replace it.
George R. R. Martin
One of the things I love, and I'm a voracious reader as well as a writer, is books that surprise me, that are not predictable.
George R. R. Martin
So young, said Wyman Manderly, Though mayhaps this was a blessing. Had he lived he would've grown up to be a Frey.
George R. R. Martin
I never wanted to see half the things I've seen, and I've never seen half the things I wanted to. I don't think wanting comes into it. You'd best go all the same.
George R. R. Martin

I love fantasy. I grew up reading fantasy. But, I wanted to put a somewhat different spin on it. The whole trope of absolute good versus absolute evil, which was wonderful in the hands of J.R. Tolkien, became cliche and rote in the hands of the many Tolkien imitators that followed.
George R. R. Martin
They are children, Sansa thought. They are silly little girls, even Elinor. They’ve never seen a battle, they’ve never seen a man die, they know nothing. Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her fathers head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them.
George R. R. Martin
The Red God takes what is his, lovely girl. And only death may pay for life. You saved me and the two I was with. You stole three deaths from the Red God. We have to give them back. Speak three names and the man will do the rest. Three lives I will give you - no more, no less, and we're done.
George R. R. Martin
And the mystery knight should defeat all challengers and name the wolf maid the queen of love and beauty.
George R. R. Martin
But my philosophy is that plot advancement is not what the experience of reading fiction is about. If all we care about is advancing the plot, why read novels? We can just read Cliffs Notes.
George R. R. Martin
We know truth for the cruel instrument it is. Beauty is infinitely preferable to truth.
George R. R. Martin
Nobody is a villain in their own story. We're all the heroes of our own stories.
George R. R. Martin
You must put these dreams aside, they will only break your heart.
George R. R. Martin
