All dwarfs may be bastards yet not all bastards are dwarfs.
George R. R. Martin

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

George R. R. Martin
History is a wheel, for the nature of man is fundamentally unchanging. What has happened before will perforce happen again.
George R. R. Martin
And I tell you truly, Danaerys, there is no man in all the world who will ever be half so true to you as me.
George R. R. Martin
No one who wears a crown is ever safe.
George R. R. Martin
I am doing the right thing, he told himself, so why do I feel so bad?
George R. R. Martin
The most important thing for any aspiring writer, is to read! And not just the sort of thing you're trying to write, be that fantasy, SF, comic books, whatever. You need to read everything.
George R. R. Martin
He was no dragon, Dany thought, curiously calm. Fire cannot kill a dragon
George R. R. Martin
We all dream of things we cannot have.
