You wear your honor like a suit of armor... You think it keeps you safe, but all it does is weigh you down and make it hard for you to move.

Sacrifice is never easy or it is no true sacrifice. - Stannis
George R. R. Martin
I love fantasy. I grew up reading fantasy. But, I wanted to put a somewhat different spin on it. The whole trope of absolute good versus absolute evil, which was wonderful in the hands of J.R. Tolkien, became cliche and rote in the hands of the many Tolkien imitators that followed.
George R. R. Martin
What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.
George R. R. Martin
There are no men like me. There's only me
George R. R. Martin
I knew that, when writing a book, you're not constrained by a budget. You're not constrained by what you can do, in terms of the special effects technology. You're not limited to any particular running time.
George R. R. Martin
One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.
George R. R. Martin
She had killed him with a whisper, and she would kill two more before she was through. I’m the ghost in Harrenhal, she thought. And that night, there was one less name to hate.
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
I am only a little lion, child, and I vow, I shall not savage you.
George R. R. Martin
Sins may be forgiven. Crimes require punishment.
George R. R. Martin
You always try to do your own thing. One of the things I wanted to do was to write a book that combines some of the best traits of contemporary fantasy with some of the traits of the historical novel.
George R. R. Martin
Yes - 90% of fantasy is crap. And so is 90% of science fiction and 90% of mystery fiction and 90% of literary fiction.

[Melisandre] His Grace is growing fond of you. [Jon] I can tell. He only threatened to behead me twice. Page 58
George R. R. Martin
The apples stewed with prunes are excellent, except for the prunes, I won't eat prunes myself. Well, there was one time when Hobb chopped them up with chesnuts and carrots and hid them in a hen. Never trust a cook, my lord. They'll prune you when you least expect it.
George R. R. Martin
But my philosophy is that plot advancement is not what the experience of reading fiction is about. If all we care about is advancing the plot, why read novels? We can just read Cliffs Notes.
George R. R. Martin
And all was black and still, and black and cold, and black and dead, and black.
George R. R. Martin
Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow. Tyrion smiled. Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it. I will take that as high praise.
George R. R. Martin
You know nothing, Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
I'm honest. It's the world that's awful.
George R. R. Martin
You are the blood of the dragon. You can make a hat.
