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

More quotes by George R. R. Martin
We all dream of things we cannot have.
George R. R. Martin
If I die, I die friendless and abandoned. What choice did that leave him, but to live?
George R. R. Martin
A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.
George R. R. Martin
Dragons old and young, true and false, bright and dark. And you. A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of all.
George R. R. Martin
Free folk don't follow names, or little cloth animals sewn on a tunic, the King-Beyond-the-Wall had told him. They won't dance for coins, they don't care how your style yourself or what that chain of office means or who your grandsire was. They follow strength. They follow the man.
George R. R. Martin
He was no dragon, Dany thought, curiously calm. Fire cannot kill a dragon
George R. R. Martin
All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes

I believe that a writer learns from every story he writes, and when you try different things, you learn different lessons. Working with other writers, as in Hollywood or in a shared world series, will also strengthen your skills, by exposing you to new ways of seeing the work, and different approaches to certain creative challenges.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes there is no happy choice, Sam, only one less grievous than the others. - Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
Another name? Oh, certainly. And when the Faceless Men come to kill me, I'll say, 'No, you have the wrong man, I'm a different dwarf with a hideous facial scar.' Both Lannisters laughed at the absurdity of it all.
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
Nothing bores me more than books where you read two pages and you know exactly how it's going to come out. I want twists and turns that surprise me, characters that have a difficult time and that I don't know if they're going to live or die.
George R. R. Martin
I would choose freedom over comfort every time.
George R. R. Martin
Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word.
George R. R. Martin
More details, more devils.
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.
George R. R. Martin
Control your generosity when dealing with a chronic borrower.
George R. R. Martin
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.

Power resides where men believe it to reside.
George R. R. Martin
When Maester Aemon heard him sing, he said his voice was honey poured over thunder.
