The white horse and the black one wheeled like lovers at a harvest dance, the riders throwing steel in place of kisses.

Of course it’s not enough to be a good man to be an effective ruler and it never has been.

I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?

People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy. So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss co-creators of 'Game Of Thrones') are even bloodier than I am.

It's not, Mormont told him. Gods save us, boy, you're not blind and you're not stupid. When dead men come hunting in the night, do you think it matters who sits the Iron Throne?

When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone.

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.

I've lost a hand, a father, a son, a sister, and a lover, and soon enough I will lose a brother. And yet they keep telling me House Lannister won this war.
