More quotes by George R. R. Martin
If H. P. Lovecraft and H. L. Mencken had ever collaborated, they might have come up with something like The Edge of Reason. This one will delight thinkers-and outrage true believers-of all stripes.
George R. R. Martin
I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes there is no happy choice, Sam, only one less grievous than the others. - Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
More details, more devils.
George R. R. Martin
What the King dreams, the Hand builds.
George R. R. Martin
There has never been a slave who did not choose to be a slave. Their choice may be between bondage and death, but the choice is always there.
George R. R. Martin
Why should death make a man truthful, or even clever? The dead are likely dull fellows, full of tedious complaints - the ground's too cold, my gravestone should be larger, why does he get more worms than I do.
George R. R. Martin
There is magic in my universe, but it's pretty low magic compared to other fantasies.
George R. R. Martin
Men are men, vows are words, and words are wind.
George R. R. Martin
As we sin, so do we suffer
George R. R. Martin
Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.
George R. R. Martin
I was born in Bayonne, New Jersey. I grew up in the projects. I never went anywhere. But I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.
George R. R. Martin
The distinction between literary and genre fiction is stupid and pernicious. It dates back to a feud between Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James. James won, and it split literature into two streams. But it's a totally false dichotomy.
George R. R. Martin
They are children, Sansa thought. They are silly little girls, even Elinor. They’ve never seen a battle, they’ve never seen a man die, they know nothing. Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her fathers head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them.
George R. R. Martin
Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.
George R. R. Martin
They say night's beauties fade at dawn, and the children of wine are oft disowned in the morning light.
George R. R. Martin
I have touched more men that I can count. Some with my lips, more with my axe.
George R. R. Martin
Give a thing a name and it will somehow come to be.
George R. R. Martin
Jon Snow had dreamed of leading men to glory just as King Daeron had, of growing up to be a conqueror. Now he was a man grown and the Wall was his, yet all he had were doubts. He could not even seem to conquer those.
George R. R. Martin
A harp can be a dangerous as a sword, in the right hands.
George R. R. Martin
