More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Noseless and Handless, the Lannister Boys.
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.
George R. R. Martin
Knowledge is a Weapon, Jon. Arm yourself well before you ride forth to Battle.
George R. R. Martin
I am Cersei of House Lannister, a lion of the Rock, the rightful queen of these Seven Kingdoms, trueborn daughter of Tywin Lannister. And hair grows back.
George R. R. Martin
Woman? Is that meant to insult me? I would return the slap, if I took you for a man. - Daenerys Targaryen
George R. R. Martin
Some truths did not bear saying, and some lies were necessary.
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
He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp as the difference between right and wrong, between true and false, between life and death.
George R. R. Martin
No fight is hopeless till it has been fought.
George R. R. Martin
I have some other novels I want to write. I have a lot of short stories - I love the short story.
George R. R. Martin
I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living sort in blood.
George R. R. Martin
Weese, she would whisper, first of all. Dunsen, Chiswyck, Polliver, Raff the Sweetling. The Tickler and the Hound. Ser Gregor, Ser Armory, Ser Ilyn, Ser Meryn, King Joffrey, Queen Cersei.
George R. R. Martin
A thousand deaths would still be less than he deserves.
George R. R. Martin
The city? Tyrion was lost. What city would that be? King's Landing. I am sending you to court. It was the last thing Tyrion Lannister would ever have anticipated. He reached for his wine, considered for a moment as he sipped. And what am I to do there? Rule, his father said curtly.
George R. R. Martin
I heard of a man who had a razor made of Valyrian steel. He cut his head off trying to shave.
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
Give a thing a name and it will somehow come to be.
George R. R. Martin
a man who hates music can’t be trusted, I always say.
George R. R. Martin
I was a novelist first. But in the mid 80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, you know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.
George R. R. Martin
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.
