More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Sure. Some of the reviews have been very flattering, but the series is not finished yet. The end needs to be as strong as the beginning.
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
You could make a poultice out of mud to cool a fever. You could plant seeds in mud and grow a crop to feed your children. Mud would nourish you, where fire would only consume you, but fools and children and young girls would choose fire every time.
George R. R. Martin
History is a wheel, for the nature of man is fundamentally unchanging. What has happened before will perforce happen again.
George R. R. Martin
Names are hard. I have a library of What to Name Your Baby books, and I’m always picking up new books, and books of baby names from other countries. I like cool-sounding names.
George R. R. Martin
She had killed him with a whisper, and she would kill two more before she was through. I’m the ghost in Harrenhal, she thought. And that night, there was one less name to hate.
George R. R. Martin
Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?' 'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.
George R. R. Martin
The white horse and the black one wheeled like lovers at a harvest dance, the riders throwing steel in place of kisses.
George R. R. Martin
When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. Elsewise no man will ever bend the knee to you
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
A fair bargain leaves both sides unhappy.
George R. R. Martin
She just laughed in his face and told him she'd sooner crawl in a bed with his father's leeches before she'd crawl in one with him. She stopped laughing when he put his knife in her.
George R. R. Martin
My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.
George R. R. Martin
There are ghosts everywhere, Ser Jorah said softly. We carry them with us wherever we go.
George R. R. Martin
I wrote six pilots, none of which ever got picked up. When you stop trying, it then it falls in your lap.
George R. R. Martin
A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.
George R. R. Martin
Sorcery is the sauce fools spoon over failure to hide the flavor of their own incompetence.
George R. R. Martin
The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.
George R. R. Martin
Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow. Tyrion smiled. Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it. I will take that as high praise.
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
