More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Sorcery is the sauce fools spoon over failure to hide the flavor of their own incompetence.
George R. R. Martin
Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.
George R. R. Martin
I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.
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
How do you fight someone if you can't hit them?
George R. R. Martin
When you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him.
George R. R. Martin
A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.
George R. R. Martin
I like grey characters fantasy for too long has been focused on very stereotypical heroes and villains.
George R. R. Martin
I was a novelist first. But in the mid 80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, you know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.
George R. R. Martin
A bag of dragons buys a man's silence for a while, but a well-placed quarrel buys it forever.
George R. R. Martin
Kind? How boring that would be. I aspire to be wicked.
George R. R. Martin
Nobody is a villain in their own story. We're all the heroes of our own stories.
