More quotes by George R. R. Martin
I work for two years on a book and it comes out and two days later I've got my first e-mail: When is the next one coming out?
George R. R. Martin
On the gallows tree, all men are brothers.
George R. R. Martin
I can see a scene in my head, and when I try to get it down in words on paper, the words are clunky the scene is not coming across right. So frustrating. And there are days where it keeps flowing. Open the floodgates, and there it is. Pages and pages coming. Where the hell does this all come from? I don't know.
George R. R. Martin
She might have wept then, had not the sky begun to do it for her.
George R. R. Martin
You look different now. Like a proper little girl, (said Gendry.) I look like an oak tree, with all these stupid acorns, (said Arya.) Nice, though. A nice oak tree. [...] You even smell nice for a change.
George R. R. Martin
his snores sounded like ducks mating.
George R. R. Martin
He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp as the difference between right and wrong, between true and false, between life and death.
George R. R. Martin
Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
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
Kings are falling like leaves this autumn.
George R. R. Martin
Do you want to die old and craven in your bed?- How else? Though not till I'm done reading.
George R. R. Martin
I suppose I'm a lapsed Catholic. You would consider me an atheist or agnostic.
George R. R. Martin
You're mine, she whispered. Mine, as I'm yours. And if we die, we die. All men must die, Jon Snow. But first, we'll live.
George R. R. Martin
All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful.
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
And I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things.
George R. R. Martin
If you die before you say her name, ser, I will hunt you through all seven hells.
George R. R. Martin
Folly and desperation are ofttimes hard to tell apart.
George R. R. Martin
If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it?
George R. R. Martin
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
