His sister liked to think of herself as Lord Tywin with teats, but she was wrong. Their father had been as relentless and implacable as a glacier, where Cercei was all wildfire, especially when thwarted.

More quotes by George R. R. Martin
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 white horse and the black one wheeled like lovers at a harvest dance, the riders throwing steel in place of kisses.
George R. R. Martin
The best calumnies are spiced with truth.
George R. R. Martin
I'm honest. It's the world that's awful.
George R. R. Martin
I had an encyclopedia with a list of flags in the back, so I would look at all these flags of China and Liberia and England and Denmark and whatever, and I learned all the different flags and I tried to imagine what it would be like to be voyaging on some of these ships.
George R. R. Martin
It is better to be seen as cruel than foolish.

George R. R. Martin
When you play a game of thrones you win or you die.
George R. R. Martin
Sooner would be better than later, and now would be better than sooner. - Tyrion
George R. R. Martin
Control your generosity when dealing with a chronic borrower.
George R. R. Martin
Love is the bane of honor, the death of duty.
George R. R. Martin
I like grey characters fantasy for too long has been focused on very stereotypical heroes and villains.
George R. R. Martin
Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow. Tyrion smiled. Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it. I will take that as high praise.
George R. R. Martin
- Some men think because they are afraid to do. - There is a difference between fear and caution.
George R. R. Martin
A hedge knight must hold tight to his pride. Without it, he was no more than a sellsword
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
A crown should not sit easy on the head.
George R. R. Martin
The eunuch had looked death in the face, so near he might have kissed her on the lips.
