I did not do it. Yet now I wish I had.’ He turned to face the hall, that sea of pale faces. ‘I wish I had enough poison for you all. You make me sorry that I am not the monster you would have me be, yet there it is. I am innocent, but I will get no justice here.
George R. R. Martin
And I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things.
George R. R. Martin
All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful.
