More quotes by 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.

The true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves.
George R. R. Martin
So be it. I'll wear my iron and hold my tongue. A man who won't listen can't hear.
George R. R. Martin
Too stupid to learn and too stupid to give up.
George R. R. Martin
Half-truths are worth more than outright lies.
George R. R. Martin
I never wanted to see half the things I've seen, and I've never seen half the things I wanted to. I don't think wanting comes into it. You'd best go all the same.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
It was a cruel fate, Yet not so cruel as Mago's will be. I promise you that, by the old gods and the new, by the lamb god and the horse god and every god that lives. I swear by the Mother of Mountains and the Womb of the World. Before I am done with them, Mago and Ko Jhaqo will plead for the mercy they showed Eroeh.
George R. R. Martin
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
George R. R. Martin
Do dead man dream? The dead themselves are silent on the matter
George R. R. Martin
And the mystery knight should defeat all challengers and name the wolf maid the queen of love and beauty.
George R. R. Martin
You look different now. Like a proper little girl, (said Gendry.) I look like an oak tree, with all these stupid acorns, (said Arya.) Nice, though. A nice oak tree. [...] You even smell nice for a change.
George R. R. Martin
I'm honest. It's the world that's awful.

When you play a game of thrones you win or you die.
George R. R. Martin
In the game of thrones, even the humblest pieces can have wills of their own. Sometimes they refuse to make the moves you've planned for them.

You do not steal from the dragon, oh, no. The dragon remembers.
