Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
The sea is never weary. I must be as tireless.
George R. R. Martin
The only time a man can be brave is when he is afraid.
George R. R. Martin
It was a hollow victory they gave me. A crown...it was the girl I prayed them for. Your sister, safe... and mine again as she was meant to be. I ask you, Ned, what good is it to wear a crown?
George R. R. Martin
You're mine, she whispered. Mine, as I'm yours. And if we die, we die. All men must die, Jon Snow. But first, we'll live.
George R. R. Martin
As we sin, so do we suffer
George R. R. Martin
If a man paints a target on his chest, he should expect that sooner or later someone will loose an arrow on him.
George R. R. Martin
A harp can be a dangerous as a sword, in the right hands.
George R. R. Martin
- Some men think because they are afraid to do. - There is a difference between fear and caution.
George R. R. Martin
Wisdom oft comes from the mouth of babes.
George R. R. Martin
When you have known the kiss of a flaying knife, a laugh loses all its power to hurt you.
