More quotes by George R. R. Martin
The world is full of cravens who pretended to be heroes.
George R. R. Martin
Give me a good sharp knife and a good sharp cheese and I’m a happy man.
George R. R. Martin
They are children, Sansa thought. They are silly little girls, even Elinor. They’ve never seen a battle, they’ve never seen a man die, they know nothing. Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her fathers head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them.
George R. R. Martin
What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.
George R. R. Martin
Show me the path I must walk and do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.
George R. R. Martin
Spikes, he sighed. Heads. Walls.
George R. R. Martin
I have always regarded historical fiction and fantasy as sisters under the skin, two genres separated at birth.
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
Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word.
George R. R. Martin
They say night's beauties fade at dawn, and the children of wine are oft disowned in the morning light.
George R. R. Martin
Folly and desperation are ofttimes hard to tell apart.
George R. R. Martin
You are the blood of the dragon. You can make a hat.
George R. R. Martin
Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow. Tyrion smiled. Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it. I will take that as high praise.
George R. R. Martin
Free folk don't follow names, or little cloth animals sewn on a tunic, the King-Beyond-the-Wall had told him. They won't dance for coins, they don't care how your style yourself or what that chain of office means or who your grandsire was. They follow strength. They follow the man.
George R. R. Martin
There are worse ways to die than warm and drunk.
George R. R. Martin
You little fool. Tears are not a woman's only weapon. You've got another one between your legs, and you'd best learn to use it. You'll find men use their swords freely enough. Both kinds of swords.
George R. R. Martin
They can keep their heaven. When I die, I’d sooner go to Middle Earth.
George R. R. Martin
But a voice inside her whispered, There are no heroes, and she remembered what Lord Petyr had said to her, here in this very hall. 'Life is not a song, sweetling,' he'd told her, 'You may learn that one day to your sorrow.' In life, the monsters win, she told herself.
George R. R. Martin
The distinction between literary and genre fiction is stupid and pernicious. It dates back to a feud between Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James. James won, and it split literature into two streams. But it's a totally false dichotomy.
George R. R. Martin
She had killed him with a whisper, and she would kill two more before she was through. I’m the ghost in Harrenhal, she thought. And that night, there was one less name to hate.
