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
Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end.
George R. R. Martin
We all dream of things we cannot have.
George R. R. Martin
Children are a battle of a different sort. ... A battle without banners or warhorns but no less fierce.
George R. R. Martin
All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful.
George R. R. Martin
