George R. R. Martin
I can be humbler than anyone.
George R. R. Martin
People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up.
George R. R. Martin
You should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care.
George R. R. Martin

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
What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.
George R. R. Martin
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
George R. R. Martin
his snores sounded like ducks mating.
George R. R. Martin
Better to mock the game than to play and lose.
George R. R. Martin
I need to sleep, but fear to dream.
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
This world is twisted beyond hope, when lowborn smugglers must vouch for the honor of kings.
George R. R. Martin
I have been despised by better men than you.
George R. R. Martin
A crown should not sit easy on the head.
George R. R. Martin
Men will always underestimate you, he said, and their pride will make them want to vanquish you quickly, lest it be said that a woman tried them sorely. Let them spend their strength in furious attacks, whilst you conserve your own. Wait and watch, girl, wait and watch.
George R. R. Martin
