More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Shattered legs may heal in time, but some betrayals fester and poison the soul.
George R. R. Martin
My mother raised me to be bold. If I do not go, I will spend the rest of my life wondering what might have happened if I had. If you do go, the rest of your life may be too short for wondering. - Asha & Rodrick
George R. R. Martin
In real life, the hardest aspect of the battle between good and evil is determining which is which.
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
If I took it away, no doubt I'd find a morningstar hidden under your pillow within a fortnight. Try not to stab your sister, whatever the provocation.
George R. R. Martin
His sister liked to think of herself as Lord Tywin with teats, but she was wrong. Their father had been as relentless and implacable as a glacier, where Cercei was all wildfire, especially when thwarted.
George R. R. Martin
The world is full of cravens who pretended to be heroes.
George R. R. Martin
I need to sleep, but fear to dream.
George R. R. Martin
Everyone who isn't us is an enemy. - Cersei
George R. R. Martin
He did not know which was more painful, the waking or the sleeping. When he slept, he dreamed: dark disturbing dreams of blood and broken promises. When he woke, there was nothing to do but think, and his waking thoughts were worse than nightmares.
George R. R. Martin
Give a thing a name and it will somehow come to be.
George R. R. Martin
When you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him.
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
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
My biggest dream was to ruin the lives of my readers and crush their souls... And I really think that worked out pretty well for me.
George R. R. Martin
A man does not need to be a wizard to know truth from falsehood, not if he has eyes. You need only learn to read a face. Look at the eyes. The mouth. The muscles here, at the corners of the jaw, and here, where the neck joins the shoulders.
George R. R. Martin
They say it grows so cold up here in winter that a man’s laughter freezes in his throat and chokes him to death,” Ned said evenly. “Perhaps that is why the Starks have so little humor.
George R. R. Martin
Tell Robb that I'm going to command the Night's Watch and keep him safe, so he might as well take up needlework with the girls and have Mikken melt down his sword for horseshoes. - 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
The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.
George R. R. Martin
