More quotes by George R. R. Martin

No one who wears a crown is ever safe.
George R. R. Martin
The years leech at a man's memories, even those he has vowed never to forget.
George R. R. Martin
A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.

In my 10 years that I spent out in TV and film, I had my shares of frustrations and annoyances and disappointments, but also I think it was, in the long run, it was very good for me in a whole bunch of ways.

Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna, and thousands died for it.
