More quotes by George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living sort in blood.
George R. R. Martin
A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.
George R. R. Martin
What would a Frey know of honor? - Sir Davos Seaworth
George R. R. Martin
Nothing someone says before the word 'but' really counts.
George R. R. Martin
My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones. Some succeeded, some failed, most had mixed results... but it is the effort that's heroic, as I see it. Win or lose, I admire those who fight the good fight.
George R. R. Martin
We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang.
George R. R. Martin
Shattered legs may heal in time, but some betrayals fester and poison the soul.
George R. R. Martin
Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next.
George R. R. Martin
A man does not need to be a wizard to know truth from falsehood, not if he has eyes. You need only learn to read a face. Look at the eyes. The mouth. The muscles here, at the corners of the jaw, and here, where the neck joins the shoulders.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
What was it Catelyn Stark had called them, that night at Bitterbridge? The knights of summer. And now it was autumn and they were falling like leaves.
George R. R. Martin
I've been many kinds of writers in my career: novelist tele-playwright short story writer. As a high-school student, I wrote amateur pieces for fanzines, and I've written for Hollywood.
George R. R. Martin
- Some men think because they are afraid to do. - There is a difference between fear and caution.
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
There has never been a slave who did not choose to be a slave. Their choice may be between bondage and death, but the choice is always there.
George R. R. Martin
Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.

I do so hope he plays us 'The Rains of Castamere.' It has been an hour. I've forgotten how it goes -- Olenna Tyrell, the HBIC
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
One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.
