More quotes by George R. R. Martin
No one who wears a crown is ever safe.
George R. R. Martin
It was that white cloak that soiled me, not the other way around.
George R. R. Martin
She should be on a hill somewhere, under a fruit tree, with the sun and clouds above her and the rain to wash her clean.
George R. R. Martin
Give a thing a name and it will somehow come to be.
George R. R. Martin
If H. P. Lovecraft and H. L. Mencken had ever collaborated, they might have come up with something like The Edge of Reason. This one will delight thinkers-and outrage true believers-of all stripes.
George R. R. Martin
Some gave me soft words and some blunt, some made excuses, some promises, some only lied. In the end words are just wind.
George R. R. Martin
I have a hole where my heart should be, she thought, and nowhere else to go.
George R. R. Martin
I'm honest. It's the world that's awful.

I would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That's like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft.
George R. R. Martin
Every man should lose a battle in his youth, so he does not lose a war when he is old.
George R. R. Martin
The letter . . . What did your lords make of it, I wonder?” Stannis snorted. “Celtigar pronounced it admirable. If I showed him the contents of my privy, he would declare that admirable as well.
George R. R. Martin
All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful.
George R. R. Martin
Truly, sister, you were born to be a widow. (Tyrion to Cersei)
George R. R. Martin
A bruise is a lesson... and each lesson makes us better.
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks on us, but the eyes see true. Look with your eyes. Hear with your ears. Taste with your mouth. Smell with your nose. Feel with your skin. Then comes the thinking, afterward, and in a way knowing the truth.
George R. R. Martin
Great wrongs have been done you, but the past is dust. The future may yet be won.
George R. R. Martin
You should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care.
George R. R. Martin
As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.
George R. R. Martin
The storms come and go, the waves crash overhead, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling. (Varys)
George R. R. Martin
In my 10 years that I spent out in TV and film, I had my shares of frustrations and annoyances and disappointments, but also I think it was, in the long run, it was very good for me in a whole bunch of ways.
