More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Nothing burns like the cold.
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.

George R. R. Martin
He understood the way that you could sometimes fall right into them, as if each page was a hole into another world.
George R. R. Martin
The city? Tyrion was lost. What city would that be? King's Landing. I am sending you to court. It was the last thing Tyrion Lannister would ever have anticipated. He reached for his wine, considered for a moment as he sipped. And what am I to do there? Rule, his father said curtly.
George R. R. Martin
He is a man of the Night's Watch, She thought, as he sang about some stupid lady throwing herself off some stupid tower because her stupid prince was dead. The lady should go kill the ones who killed her prince. Arya Stark (page 514)

George R. R. Martin
They can keep their heaven. When I die, I’d sooner go to Middle Earth.
George R. R. Martin
Mothers. The man made a word sound like a curse. I think birthing does something to your minds. You are all mad.
George R. R. Martin
The most important thing for any aspiring writer, is to read! And not just the sort of thing you're trying to write, be that fantasy, SF, comic books, whatever. You need to read everything.
George R. R. Martin
As a writer, my goal, (which I'm never going to achieve, and I know that, and no writer can achieve that,) but my goal is to make you almost live the books. I want you to fall through that page and feel as if these things are happening to you.
George R. R. Martin
Fear cuts deeper than swords.
George R. R. Martin
Black moleskin gloves covered his hands the right because it was burned, the left because a man felt half a fool wearing only one glove.
George R. R. Martin
These old knights are more cunning than you think, or they would never have lived to see their first grey hair.
George R. R. Martin
Sorcery is the sauce fools spoon over failure to hide the flavor of their own incompetence.
George R. R. Martin
There is an empty place within me where my heart once was.
George R. R. Martin
The prejudice is still there, but it's breaking down. You have writers like Michael Chabon and The Yiddish Policemen's Union. He's a writer who's determined to break down genre barriers. He's done amazing things.
George R. R. Martin
