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.

More quotes by George R. R. Martin
If he must be alone, he would make solitude his armor.
George R. R. Martin
His time was past, her handmaid Irri declared. No man should live longer than his teeth.
George R. R. Martin
I've written some standalone novels, but a book series allows fans in. There's much more intense involvement.
George R. R. Martin
Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.
George R. R. Martin
Once a man has seen a dragon in flight, let him stay home and tend his garden in content, someone had written once, for this wide world has no greater wonder. Tyrion scratched at his scar and tried to recall the author's name.
George R. R. Martin
She could not bear to look at him just now. If she did, she might well slap him again. Or cry. Or kiss him. And never know which was right and which was wrong and which was madness.
George R. R. Martin
The sun will soon be setting, and corpses make poor company by night. These were dark and dangerous men, alive. I doubt that death will have improved them.
George R. R. Martin
I never finished any of my early stories. They were all beginnings, an endless number of beginnings.
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.
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.
George R. R. Martin
The worst isn't done. The worst is just beginning, and there are no happy endings. (Samuel Tarly)
George R. R. Martin
Mothers. The man made a word sound like a curse. I think birthing does something to your minds. You are all mad.
George R. R. Martin
And I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things.
George R. R. Martin
When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, she said sadly. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When my womb quickens again, and I bear a living child. Then you will return, my sun-and-stars, and not before. -Daenerys Targaryen
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.
George R. R. Martin
I love you too, sweet sister. But you're a fool. A beautiful golden fool.
George R. R. Martin
In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.
George R. R. Martin
You kill men for the wrongs they have done, not the wrongs that they may do someday.
George R. R. Martin
On the gallows tree, all men are brothers.
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.
