More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by, the way Viserys said they smiled for my father. (Daenerys)
George R. R. Martin
Some truths did not bear saying, and some lies were necessary.
George R. R. Martin
If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it?
George R. R. Martin
The old man laid a withered, spotted hand on his shoulder. It hurts, boy, he said softly. Oh, yes. Choosing . . . it has always hurt. And always will. I know.
George R. R. Martin
...and when you’ve known me longer, you’ll learn that I mean everything I say.” “Even the lies?” “Especially the lies.
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 prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living sort in blood.
George R. R. Martin
If I die, I die friendless and abandoned. What choice did that leave him, but to live?
George R. R. Martin
O medo corta mais profundamente do que as espadas.
