My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind...and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That's why I read so much Jon Snow.
George R. R. Martin
It is one thing to be clever and another to be wise.
George R. R. Martin
The prejudice is still there, but it's breaking down. You have writers like Michael Chabon and The Yiddish Policemen's Union. He's a writer who's determined to break down genre barriers. He's done amazing things.

True knights protect the weak.” He snorted. “There are no true knights, no more than there are gods. If you can’t protect yourself, die and get out of the way of those who can.

Let me tell you something about wolves, child. When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. In winter, we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths. So if you must hate, Arya, hate those who would truly do us harm.
George R. R. Martin
Tarly, when I was a lad half your age, my lady mother told me that if I stood about with my mouth open, a weasel was like to mistake it for his lair and run down my throat. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, beware of weasels.
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
Tyrion wondered what it would be like to have a twin, and decided that he would rather not know. Bad enough to face himself in a looking glass every day.
George R. R. Martin
Jon: Have you seen the wall? | Sam: I'm fat, not blind.
George R. R. Martin
No fight is hopeless till it has been fought.
George R. R. Martin
The Iron Throne is mine by rights. All those who deny that are my foes. The whole of the realm denies it, brother, said Renley. Old men deny it with their death rattle, and unborn children deny it in their mothers' wombs. They deny it in Dorne and they deny it on the Wall. No one wants you for their king. Sorry.
George R. R. Martin
And I tell you truly, Danaerys, there is no man in all the world who will ever be half so true to you as me.
George R. R. Martin
I could have written a story about a well-adjusted family. Ned Stark comes down to King’s Landing and takes over and solves all their problems. Would that have been as exciting?
George R. R. Martin
Men are mad and gods are madder, she told the grass, and the grass murmured its agreement.
George R. R. Martin
This world is twisted beyond hope, when lowborn smugglers must vouch for the honor of kings.
George R. R. Martin
I did not do it. Yet now I wish I had.’ He turned to face the hall, that sea of pale faces. ‘I wish I had enough poison for you all. You make me sorry that I am not the monster you would have me be, yet there it is. I am innocent, but I will get no justice here.
George R. R. Martin
Ned was clad in a white linen doublet with the direwolf of Stark on the breast his black wool cloak was fastened at the collar by his silver hand of office. Black and white and grey, all the shades of truth.
George R. R. Martin
If the day comes when you would find me again, give that coin to any man from Braavos, and say these words to him--valar morghulis.
