More quotes by George R. R. Martin
We know truth for the cruel instrument it is. Beauty is infinitely preferable to truth.
George R. R. Martin
Let me tell you something about wolves, child. When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. In winter, we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths. So if you must hate, Arya, hate those who would truly do us harm.
George R. R. Martin
If half an onion is black with rot, it is a rotten onion. A man is good or he is evil. (Melisandre of Asshai)
George R. R. Martin
Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.
George R. R. Martin
I have climbed these steps so often I know each one by name.
George R. R. Martin
I can be humbler than anyone.
George R. R. Martin
Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes he could almost forget that it was there, the way you forget about the sky or the earth underfoot, but there were other times when it seemed as if there was nothing else in the world.
George R. R. Martin
Another name? Oh, certainly. And when the Faceless Men come to kill me, I'll say, 'No, you have the wrong man, I'm a different dwarf with a hideous facial scar.' Both Lannisters laughed at the absurdity of it all.
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
She could not bear to look at him just now. If she did, she might well slap him again. Or cry. Or kiss him. And never know which was right and which was wrong and which was madness.
George R. R. Martin
The true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves.
George R. R. Martin
I always give my students exercises where they really have to open a vein and bleed all over the paper and that's the way you get the important characters. Sooner or later every writer worth reading writes a story his mother wouldn't read and having to get that stuff out is part of one's growth as a writer.
George R. R. Martin
All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful.
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
...Ned always said that the man who passes the sentence should swing the blade, though he never took any joy in the duty. But I would, oh, yes.
George R. R. Martin
Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.
George R. R. Martin
I am surrounded by flatterers and fools. It can drive a man to madness,.. . Half of them don’t dare tell me the truth, and the other half can’t find it.
George R. R. Martin
his snores sounded like ducks mating.

[Melisandre] His Grace is growing fond of you. [Jon] I can tell. He only threatened to behead me twice. Page 58
