More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Truly, sister, you were born to be a widow. (Tyrion to Cersei)
George R. R. Martin
As a writer, my goal, (which I'm never going to achieve, and I know that, and no writer can achieve that,) but my goal is to make you almost live the books. I want you to fall through that page and feel as if these things are happening to you.
George R. R. Martin
Show me the path I must walk and do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.
George R. R. Martin
The sea is never weary. I must be as tireless.
George R. R. Martin
The man who fears losing has already lost.
George R. R. Martin
You are the blood of the dragon. You can make a hat.
George R. R. Martin
Anyone can be killed.
George R. R. Martin
A harp can be a dangerous as a sword, in the right hands.
George R. R. Martin
Historical fiction is not history. You're blending real events and actual historical personages with characters of your own creation.
George R. R. Martin
I was a novelist first. But in the mid 80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, you know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.
George R. R. Martin
That little touch is not in the books, but I wish it had been in the books because it was a great addition.
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 singers make much of kings who die valiantly in battle, but your life is worth more than a song.
George R. R. Martin
Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same.
George R. R. Martin
Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.
George R. R. Martin
I love fantasy. I grew up reading fantasy. But, I wanted to put a somewhat different spin on it. The whole trope of absolute good versus absolute evil, which was wonderful in the hands of J.R. Tolkien, became cliche and rote in the hands of the many Tolkien imitators that followed.
George R. R. Martin
Kill me, and be cursed. You are no king of mine.
George R. R. Martin
When you play a game of thrones you win or you die.
George R. R. Martin
I just need to rest, that’s all, to rest and sleep some, and maybe die a little.
George R. R. Martin
a man who hates music can’t be trusted, I always say.
George R. R. Martin
