More quotes by George R. R. Martin
I've lost a hand, a father, a son, a sister, and a lover, and soon enough I will lose a brother. And yet they keep telling me House Lannister won this war.
George R. R. Martin
Catelyn wanted to run to him, to kiss his sweet brow, to wrap him in her arms so tightly that he would never come to harm.
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
I was a novelist first. But in the mid 80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, you know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.
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
Tears, she said scornfully to Sansa as the woman was led from the hall. The woman's weapon, my lady mother used to call them. The man's weapon is a sword. And that tells us all you need to know, doesn't it?
George R. R. Martin
I work for two years on a book and it comes out and two days later I've got my first e-mail: When is the next one coming out?
George R. R. Martin
He was no dragon, Dany thought, curiously calm. Fire cannot kill a dragon
George R. R. Martin
I was born in Bayonne, New Jersey. I grew up in the projects. I never went anywhere. But I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.
George R. R. Martin
Shattered legs may heal in time, but some betrayals fester and poison the soul.
George R. R. Martin
Folly and desperation are ofttimes hard to tell apart.
George R. R. Martin
I am doing the right thing, he told himself, so why do I feel so bad?
George R. R. Martin
I need to sleep, but fear to dream.
George R. R. Martin
She just laughed in his face and told him she'd sooner crawl in a bed with his father's leeches before she'd crawl in one with him. She stopped laughing when he put his knife in her.
George R. R. Martin
The common people pray for rain, healthy children and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.
George R. R. Martin
A bruise is a lesson... and each lesson makes us better.
George R. R. Martin
The odd thing about being a writer is you do tend to lose yourself in your books. Sometimes it seems like real life is flickering by and you're hardly a part of it. You remember the events in your books better than you remember the events that actually took place when you were writing them.
George R. R. Martin
You could make a poultice out of mud to cool a fever. You could plant seeds in mud and grow a crop to feed your children. Mud would nourish you, where fire would only consume you, but fools and children and young girls would choose fire every time.
George R. R. Martin
O medo corta mais profundamente do que as espadas.
George R. R. Martin
Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word.
George R. R. Martin
