More quotes by George R. R. Martin
There is magic in my universe, but it's pretty low magic compared to other fantasies.
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
A harp can be a dangerous as a sword, in the right hands.
George R. R. Martin
There has never been a slave who did not choose to be a slave. Their choice may be between bondage and death, but the choice is always there.
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.
George R. R. Martin
Jon Snow: I'm not afraid to die. Mormont: Nor life, I hope.
George R. R. Martin
He was no dragon, Dany thought, curiously calm. Fire cannot kill a dragon
George R. R. Martin
But my philosophy is that plot advancement is not what the experience of reading fiction is about. If all we care about is advancing the plot, why read novels? We can just read Cliffs Notes.
George R. R. Martin
One of the things I love, and I'm a voracious reader as well as a writer, is books that surprise me, that are not predictable.
George R. R. Martin
We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously.
George R. R. Martin
A bag of dragons buys a man's silence for a while, but a well-placed quarrel buys it forever.
George R. R. Martin
We all dream of things we cannot have.
George R. R. Martin
An admiral without ships, a hand without fingers, in service of a king without a throne. Is this a knight who comes before us, or the answer to a child's riddle?
George R. R. Martin
I want to weep, she thought. I want to be comforted. I'm so tired of being strong. I want to be foolish and frightened for once. Just for a small while, that's all....a day.....an hour.
George R. R. Martin
Faith is like porridge. Better with milk and honey.
George R. R. Martin
Ned was clad in a white linen doublet with the direwolf of Stark on the breast his black wool cloak was fastened at the collar by his silver hand of office. Black and white and grey, all the shades of truth.
George R. R. Martin
Drowning was bad enough. But drowning sad and sober, that's too cruel.
George R. R. Martin
Catelyn wanted to run to him, to kiss his sweet brow, to wrap him in her arms so tightly that he would never come to harm.
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
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.
