More quotes by 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
Ser Barristan loves his honor, Grand Maester Pycelle loves his office, and Littlefinger loves Littlefinger.
George R. R. Martin
I would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That's like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft.
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
...Ned always said that the man who passes the sentence should swing the blade, though he never took any joy in the duty. But I would, oh, yes.
George R. R. Martin
One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.
George R. R. Martin
For the night is dark and full of terrors.
George R. R. Martin
When the end comes, I will meet it raging.
George R. R. Martin
Nothing burns like the cold. But only for a while. Then it gets inside you and starts to fill you up, and after a while you don't have the strength to fight it.
George R. R. Martin
The snow drifted down and down, all in ghostly silence, and lay thick and unbroken on the ground. It was a place of whites and blacks and greys. White towers and white snow and white statues, black shadows and black trees, the dark grey sky above. A pure world, Sansa thought. I do not belong here. Yet she stepped out all the same.
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
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
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
George R. R. Martin
Come at once, she had written to him. Help me. Save me. I need you now as I have never needed you before. I love you. I love you. I love you. Come at once
George R. R. Martin
his snores sounded like ducks mating.
George R. R. Martin
Those are brave men, he told Ser Balon in admiration. Let's go kill them.
George R. R. Martin
Some men want whores on the eve of battle, and some want gods. Jon wondered who felt better afterward.
George R. R. Martin
Women do not forget. Women do not forgive.
George R. R. Martin
Pyp had stabbed a turnip with his knife. The night is dark and full of turnips, he announced in a solemn voice. Let us all pray for venison, my children, with some onions and a bit of tasty gravy.
George R. R. Martin
Too stupid to learn and too stupid to give up.
George R. R. Martin
