More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Tarly, when I was a lad half your age, my lady mother told me that if I stood about with my mouth open, a weasel was like to mistake it for his lair and run down my throat. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, beware of weasels.
George R. R. Martin
Anyone can be killed.
George R. R. Martin
You little fool. Tears are not a woman's only weapon. You've got another one between your legs, and you'd best learn to use it. You'll find men use their swords freely enough. Both kinds of swords.
George R. R. Martin
A thousand deaths would still be less than he deserves.

There are some examples of medieval kings who were terrible human beings but were nevertheless good kings.
George R. R. Martin
Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
George R. R. Martin
What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.
George R. R. Martin
A hedge knight must hold tight to his pride. Without it, he was no more than a sellsword
George R. R. Martin
The singers make much of kings who die valiantly in battle, but your life is worth more than a song.
George R. R. Martin
A bag of dragons buys a man's silence for a while, but a well-placed quarrel buys it forever.
George R. R. Martin
Dragons old and young, true and false, bright and dark. And you. A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of all.
George R. R. Martin
When you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him.
George R. R. Martin
How I have yearned for the sound of your sweet voice,” Tyrion sighed to her. “How I have yearned to have that eunuch’s tongue pulled out with hot pincers,” Cersei replied.
George R. R. Martin
A man does not need to be a wizard to know truth from falsehood, not if he has eyes. You need only learn to read a face. Look at the eyes. The mouth. The muscles here, at the corners of the jaw, and here, where the neck joins the shoulders.
George R. R. Martin
Some gave me soft words and some blunt, some made excuses, some promises, some only lied. In the end words are just wind.
George R. R. Martin
The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.
George R. R. Martin
We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang.

Is it so far from madness to wisdom? - Daenerys Targaryen
George R. R. Martin
I want to weep, she thought. I want to be comforted. I'm so tired of being strong. I want to be foolish and frightened for once. Just for a small while, that's all....a day.....an hour.
George R. R. Martin
Perhaps I cannot make my people good, she told herself, but I should at least try to make them a little less bad.
