More quotes by George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
We're all the heroes of our own stories. So, when I am inside the head of a character who would otherwise be considered a villain, I have a great deal of affection for that character and I'm trying to see the world and the events through their eyes.
George R. R. Martin
On the gallows tree, all men are brothers.
George R. R. Martin
The sea is never weary. I must be as tireless.
George R. R. Martin
Nobody is a villain in their own story. We're all the heroes of our own stories.
George R. R. Martin
Those are brave men, he told Ser Balon in admiration. Let's go kill them.
George R. R. Martin
I am Cersei of House Lannister, a lion of the Rock, the rightful queen of these Seven Kingdoms, trueborn daughter of Tywin Lannister. And hair grows back.
George R. R. Martin
