The Gods give with one hand and take with the other.
George R. R. Martin
Men are mad and gods are madder, she told the grass, and the grass murmured its agreement.
George R. R. Martin
The truth is all around you, plain to behold. The night is dark and full of terrors, the day bright and beautiful and full of hope. One is black, the other white. There is ice and there is fire. Hate and love. Bitter and sweet. Male and female. Pain and pleasure. Winter and summer. Evil and good. Death and life. Everywhere, opposites.
George R. R. Martin
Why ask for truth, Ser Barristan said softly, if you close your ears to it?
George R. R. Martin

We never have to hear their whimpering, or hear them begging for their mother, or dying in horrible realities around us. I don't know if that's necessarily such a good thing.
George R. R. Martin
It was a story called ‘The Hero’ which I sold to Galaxy magazine in 1970, for $94.
George R. R. Martin
Knowledge is a Weapon, Jon. Arm yourself well before you ride forth to Battle.
George R. R. Martin
Ser Cleos looked like a weasel, fought like a goose, and had the courage of an especially brave ewe.
George R. R. Martin
There is magic in my universe, but it's pretty low magic compared to other fantasies.
George R. R. Martin
I have touched more men that I can count. Some with my lips, more with my axe.
George R. R. Martin
When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. Elsewise no man will ever bend the knee to you
George R. R. Martin
Has my tale turned you speechless? Come, curse me or kiss me or call me a liar. Something.
George R. R. Martin
Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true?
George R. R. Martin
She should be on a hill somewhere, under a fruit tree, with the sun and clouds above her and the rain to wash her clean.
George R. R. Martin
