George R. R. Martin
Men's lives have meaning, not their deaths.
George R. R. Martin
I rose too high, loved too hard, dared too much. I tried to grasp a star, overreached, and fell.
George R. R. Martin
We will fight a battle, and then we will rest. Alive or dead, we'll rest. - Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
He wished he could relieve himself of his doubts and guilts half as easily.
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
A harp can be a dangerous as a sword, in the right hands.
George R. R. Martin
Noseless and Handless, the Lannister Boys.
George R. R. Martin
The wildlings seemed to think Ygritte a great beauty because of her hair red hair was rare among the free folk, and those who had it were said to be kissed by fire, which was supposed to be lucky.
George R. R. Martin
An artist has an obligation to tell the truth. [...] that the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves. We are the monsters. (And the heroes too). Each of us has within himself the capacity for great good, and great evil.
George R. R. Martin
I can see a scene in my head, and when I try to get it down in words on paper, the words are clunky the scene is not coming across right. So frustrating. And there are days where it keeps flowing. Open the floodgates, and there it is. Pages and pages coming. Where the hell does this all come from? I don't know.
George R. R. Martin
In King’s Landing, there are two sorts of people. The players and the pieces… Every man’s a piece to start with, and every maid as well. Even some who think they are players. Petyr Baelish
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.
George R. R. Martin
If the day comes when you would find me again, give that coin to any man from Braavos, and say these words to him--valar morghulis.
George R. R. Martin
People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy. So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss co-creators of 'Game Of Thrones') are even bloodier than I am.
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
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 vast majority of writers out there, they finish their books and no one cares whether their book is late or ever comes out at all. And then it comes out and two reviews are published and it sells 12 copies.
George R. R. Martin
A cold wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things.
George R. R. Martin
Gods be good, why would any man ever want to be king? When everyone was shouting King in the North, King in the North, I told myself ... swore to myself ... that I would be a good king, as honorable as Father, strong, just, loyal to my friends and brave when I faced my enemies ... now I can't even tell one from the other.
