Woman? Is that meant to insult me? I would return the slap, if I took you for a man. - Daenerys Targaryen
George R. R. Martin
Power is a trick. It lies where we believe it lies.
George R. R. Martin
Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.
George R. R. Martin
I never wanted to see half the things I've seen, and I've never seen half the things I wanted to. I don't think wanting comes into it. You'd best go all the same.
George R. R. Martin
The High Septon once told me that as we sin, so do we suffer.

I love fantasy. I grew up reading fantasy. But, I wanted to put a somewhat different spin on it. The whole trope of absolute good versus absolute evil, which was wonderful in the hands of J.R. Tolkien, became cliche and rote in the hands of the many Tolkien imitators that followed.
George R. R. Martin
It was a hollow victory they gave me. A crown...it was the girl I prayed them for. Your sister, safe... and mine again as she was meant to be. I ask you, Ned, what good is it to wear a crown?
George R. R. Martin
Tears, she said scornfully to Sansa as the woman was led from the hall. The woman's weapon, my lady mother used to call them. The man's weapon is a sword. And that tells us all you need to know, doesn't it?
George R. R. Martin
A mad man sees what he sees.
George R. R. Martin
They are children, Sansa thought. They are silly little girls, even Elinor. They’ve never seen a battle, they’ve never seen a man die, they know nothing. Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her fathers head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them.
George R. R. Martin
It is better to be seen as cruel than foolish.
George R. R. Martin
When Maester Aemon heard him sing, he said his voice was honey poured over thunder.
George R. R. Martin
Even the sky was grey. Grey and grey and greyer. The whole world grey, everywhere you look, everything grey except the eyes of the bride. The eyes of the bride were brown. Big and brown and full of fear.
George R. R. Martin
She might have wept then, had not the sky begun to do it for her.
