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
The world is full of cravens who pretended to be heroes.

George R. R. Martin
I have some other novels I want to write. I have a lot of short stories - I love the short story.
George R. R. Martin
Reading. That was the sport I was good at.
George R. R. Martin
The strongest trees are rooted in the dark places of the earth. Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk. Darkness will make you strong.
George R. R. Martin
Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.
George R. R. Martin
Drowning was bad enough. But drowning sad and sober, that's too cruel.
George R. R. Martin
The sun will soon be setting, and corpses make poor company by night. These were dark and dangerous men, alive. I doubt that death will have improved them.
George R. R. Martin
Ned was clad in a white linen doublet with the direwolf of Stark on the breast his black wool cloak was fastened at the collar by his silver hand of office. Black and white and grey, all the shades of truth.
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
Fear cuts deeper than swords.
George R. R. Martin
A harp can be a dangerous as a sword, in the right hands.
