I did not do it. Yet now I wish I had.’ He turned to face the hall, that sea of pale faces. ‘I wish I had enough poison for you all. You make me sorry that I am not the monster you would have me be, yet there it is. I am innocent, but I will get no justice here.

The apples stewed with prunes are excellent, except for the prunes, I won't eat prunes myself. Well, there was one time when Hobb chopped them up with chesnuts and carrots and hid them in a hen. Never trust a cook, my lord. They'll prune you when you least expect it.

We'll need to make a litter to carry him, said Osha. No use, said Luwin. I'm dying, woman. You can't, said Rickon angrily. No you can't. Beside him, Shaggydog bared his teeth and growled. The maester smiled. Hush now, child, I'm much older than you. I can . . . die as I please.

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
So many vows … they make you swear and swear. Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It’s too much. No matter what you do, you’re forsaking one vow or another.
George R. R. Martin
Ser Jaime? Even in soiled pink satin and torn lace, Brienne looked more like a man in a gown than a proper woman.I am grateful, but...you were well away. Why come back? A dozen quips came to mind, each crueler than the one before, but Jaime only shrugged. I dreamed of you, he said.

Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli.

If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it?

So young, said Wyman Manderly, Though mayhaps this was a blessing. Had he lived he would've grown up to be a Frey.

When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
George R. R. Martin
When treating with liars, even an honest man must lie.

Sacrifice is never easy or it is no true sacrifice. - Stannis
