More quotes by George R. R. Martin
The singers make much of kings who die valiantly in battle, but your life is worth more than a song.
George R. R. Martin
I think my very earliest stories were all intellectual exercises and I was writing from experiences I had never had about characters who were about an inch deep.
George R. R. Martin
She walked fast, to keep ahead of her fear.
George R. R. Martin
We know truth for the cruel instrument it is. Beauty is infinitely preferable to truth.
George R. R. Martin
Spikes, he sighed. Heads. Walls.
George R. R. Martin
I have idea files of books that I want to write one of these days, stories I want to write one of these days, but I'll probably never get to them.
George R. R. Martin
People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy. So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss co-creators of 'Game Of Thrones') are even bloodier than I am.
George R. R. Martin
When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. Elsewise no man will ever bend the knee to you
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
Another name? Oh, certainly. And when the Faceless Men come to kill me, I'll say, 'No, you have the wrong man, I'm a different dwarf with a hideous facial scar.' Both Lannisters laughed at the absurdity of it all.
George R. R. Martin
You know nothing, Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
There are some examples of medieval kings who were terrible human beings but were nevertheless good kings.
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
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.
George R. R. Martin
An admiral without ships, a hand without fingers, in service of a king without a throne. Is this a knight who comes before us, or the answer to a child's riddle?
George R. R. Martin
You've got a bold tongue, little man. One day, someone is like to cut it out and make you eat it.
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.
George R. R. Martin
Ned was clad in a white linen doublet with the direwolf of Stark on the breast his black wool cloak was fastened at the collar by his silver hand of office. Black and white and grey, all the shades of truth.
George R. R. Martin
You are an honest and honorable man...Ofttimes I forget that. I have met so few of them in my life.
George R. R. Martin
Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what's on the other side?
George R. R. Martin
