More quotes by 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
Nothing burns like the cold.
George R. R. Martin
I am surrounded by flatterers and fools. It can drive a man to madness,.. . Half of them don’t dare tell me the truth, and the other half can’t find it.
George R. R. Martin
When you find yourself in bed with an ugly woman, the best thing to do is close your eyes and get on with it

As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.
George R. R. Martin
You must put these dreams aside, they will only break your heart.
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
I love you too, sweet sister. But you're a fool. A beautiful golden fool.
George R. R. Martin
A frightened man is a beaten man.
George R. R. Martin
The wildlings seemed to think Ygritte a great beauty because of her hair red hair was rare among the free folk, and those who had it were said to be kissed by fire, which was supposed to be lucky.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes I think everyone is just pretending to be brave, and none of us really are. Maybe pretending is how you get brave, I don't know.
George R. R. Martin
The only time a man can be brave is when he is afraid.

I knew a man once who told me that I smiled at the wrong things. Do you? Only by the light of those who smile at nothing.
