More quotes by George R. R. Martin
The Gods give with one hand and take with the other.
George R. R. Martin
My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones. Some succeeded, some failed, most had mixed results... but it is the effort that's heroic, as I see it. Win or lose, I admire those who fight the good fight.
George R. R. Martin
When you play a game of thrones you win or you die.
George R. R. Martin
Light our fire and protect us from the dark, blah blah, light our way and keep us toasty warm, the night is dark and full of terrors, save us from the scary things, and blah blah blah some more.
George R. R. Martin
Men are mad and gods are madder, she told the grass, and the grass murmured its agreement.
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
A cold wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things.
George R. R. Martin
She is not truly beautiful but something about her draws the eye.
George R. R. Martin
I am doing the right thing, he told himself, so why do I feel so bad?
George R. R. Martin
You wear your honor like a suit of armor... You think it keeps you safe, but all it does is weigh you down and make it hard for you to move.
George R. R. Martin
Sins may be forgiven. Crimes require punishment.
George R. R. Martin
When you have known the kiss of a flaying knife, a laugh loses all its power to hurt you.
George R. R. Martin
The city? Tyrion was lost. What city would that be? King's Landing. I am sending you to court. It was the last thing Tyrion Lannister would ever have anticipated. He reached for his wine, considered for a moment as he sipped. And what am I to do there? Rule, his father said curtly.
George R. R. Martin
It is being common-born that is dangerous, when the great lords play their game of thrones.
George R. R. Martin
I would choose freedom over comfort every time.
George R. R. Martin
As much as I love historical fiction, my problem with historical fiction is that you always know what's going to happen.
George R. R. Martin
...grief can derange even the strongest and most disciplined of minds.
George R. R. Martin
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
George R. R. Martin
Give me a good sharp knife and a good sharp cheese and I’m a happy man.
George R. R. Martin
Those are brave men, he told Ser Balon in admiration. Let's go kill them.
George R. R. Martin
