The cable makers are the ones who are willing to take risks and do something original and push the envelope some.
George R. R. Martin
The strongest trees are rooted in the dark places of the earth. Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk. Darkness will make you strong.
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 have always regarded historical fiction and fantasy as sisters under the skin, two genres separated at birth.
George R. R. Martin
A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor. Yet soon or late in every man's life comes a day when it is not easy, a day when he must choose. (Maester Aemon)
George R. R. Martin
It was a story called ‘The Hero’ which I sold to Galaxy magazine in 1970, for $94.
George R. R. Martin
Sam loved to listen to music and make his own songs, to wear soft velvets, to play in the castle kitchen beside the cooks, drinking in the rich smells as he snitched lemon cakes and blueberry tarts. His passions were books and kittens and dancing, clumsy as he was.
George R. R. Martin
Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same.
George R. R. Martin
Power resides only where men believe it resides. [...] A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.
George R. R. Martin
Better to mock the game than to play and lose.
George R. R. Martin
There are no heroes...in life, the monsters win.
George R. R. Martin
Valar Morghulis - All men must die.
George R. R. Martin
I have climbed these steps so often I know each one by name.
George R. R. Martin
Do dead man dream? The dead themselves are silent on the matter
George R. R. Martin
If the novels are still being read in 50 years, no one is ever going to say: 'What's great about that sixth book is that he met his deadline!' It will be about how the whole thing stands up.
George R. R. Martin
Sorcery is the sauce fools spoon over failure to hide the flavor of their own incompetence.
George R. R. Martin
More details, more devils.
George R. R. Martin
The odd thing about being a writer is you do tend to lose yourself in your books. Sometimes it seems like real life is flickering by and you're hardly a part of it. You remember the events in your books better than you remember the events that actually took place when you were writing them.
George R. R. Martin
You wear your honor like a suit of armor... You think it keeps you safe, but all it does is weigh you down and make it hard for you to move.
George R. R. Martin
You always try to do your own thing. One of the things I wanted to do was to write a book that combines some of the best traits of contemporary fantasy with some of the traits of the historical novel.
