More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Nothing someone says before the word 'but' really counts.
George R. R. Martin
Sacrifice is never easy or it is no true sacrifice. - Stannis
George R. R. Martin
The storms come and go, the waves crash overhead, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling. (Varys)
George R. R. Martin
Fiction is lies we're writing about people who never existed and events that never happened when we write fiction, whether its science fiction or fantasy or western mystery stories or so-called literary stories. All those things are essentially untrue. But it has to have a truth at the core of it.
George R. R. Martin
That little touch is not in the books, but I wish it had been in the books because it was a great addition.
George R. R. Martin
Books are dead men talking.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes there is no happy choice, Sam, only one less grievous than the others. - Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.
George R. R. Martin
There are no happy endings.
George R. R. Martin
Sooner would be better than later, and now would be better than sooner. - Tyrion
George R. R. Martin
There are too many steps in this castle, and it seems to me they add a few every night, just to vex me - Maester Cressen
George R. R. Martin
I grew up with four T.V. channels. If you missed a show, you missed it. You gotta wait a week for the next one. I'd mail-order books: take a quarter, get an envelope, send off for it and wait until it arrived. I grew up waiting for things.
George R. R. Martin
All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes I think everyone is just pretending to be brave, and none of us really are. Maybe pretending is how you get brave, I don't know.
George R. R. Martin
I believe that a writer learns from every story he writes, and when you try different things, you learn different lessons. Working with other writers, as in Hollywood or in a shared world series, will also strengthen your skills, by exposing you to new ways of seeing the work, and different approaches to certain creative challenges.
George R. R. Martin
When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. Elsewise no man will ever bend the knee to you
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
But Tolkien doesn't ask the question: What was Aragorn's tax policy?
George R. R. Martin
Better to mock the game than to play and lose.
George R. R. Martin
His sister liked to think of herself as Lord Tywin with teats, but she was wrong. Their father had been as relentless and implacable as a glacier, where Cercei was all wildfire, especially when thwarted.
