More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Even the sky was grey. Grey and grey and greyer. The whole world grey, everywhere you look, everything grey except the eyes of the bride. The eyes of the bride were brown. Big and brown and full of fear.
George R. R. Martin
My mother raised me to be bold. If I do not go, I will spend the rest of my life wondering what might have happened if I had. If you do go, the rest of your life may be too short for wondering. - Asha & Rodrick
George R. R. Martin
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
George R. R. Martin
Too stupid to learn and too stupid to give up.
George R. R. Martin
She could not bear to look at him just now. If she did, she might well slap him again. Or cry. Or kiss him. And never know which was right and which was wrong and which was madness.
George R. R. Martin
There are no heroes...in life, the monsters win.
George R. R. Martin
It's not, Mormont told him. Gods save us, boy, you're not blind and you're not stupid. When dead men come hunting in the night, do you think it matters who sits the Iron Throne?
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
Eat your heart out, Rowling. Maybe you have billions of dollars and my Hugo, but you don't have readers like these.
George R. R. Martin
The years leech at a man's memories, even those he has vowed never to forget.
George R. R. Martin
You know nothing, Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
It is being common-born that is dangerous, when the great lords play their game of thrones.
George R. R. Martin
I had an encyclopedia with a list of flags in the back, so I would look at all these flags of China and Liberia and England and Denmark and whatever, and I learned all the different flags and I tried to imagine what it would be like to be voyaging on some of these ships.
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 do not steal from the dragon, oh, no. The dragon remembers.
George R. R. Martin
When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, she said sadly. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When my womb quickens again, and I bear a living child. Then you will return, my sun-and-stars, and not before. -Daenerys Targaryen
George R. R. Martin
For men, the answer was always the same and never farther away than the nearest sword. For a woman, a mother, the way was stonier and harder to know.
George R. R. Martin
Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.
George R. R. Martin
The stone is strong. Bran told himself, the roots of the trees go deep, and under the ground the Kings of Winter sit their thrones. So long as those remained, Winterfell remained. It was not dead, just broken. Like me, he thought. I'm not dead either.
George R. R. Martin
his snores sounded like ducks mating.
