More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.
George R. R. Martin
I've always preferred writing about grey characters and human characters. Whether they are giants or elves or dwarves, or whatever they are, they're still human, and the human heart is still in conflict with the self.
George R. R. Martin
A man could not always be where he belonged, though.
George R. R. Martin
I had an encyclopedia with a list of flags in the back, so I would look at all these flags of China and Liberia and England and Denmark and whatever, and I learned all the different flags and I tried to imagine what it would be like to be voyaging on some of these ships.
George R. R. Martin
Every once in a very long while, Lord Tywin Lannister would actually threaten to smile he never did, but the threat alone was terrible to behold.
George R. R. Martin
Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.
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
All my life men like you've sneered at me, and all my life I've been knocking men like you into the dust.
George R. R. Martin
I suppose I'm a lapsed Catholic. You would consider me an atheist or agnostic.
George R. R. Martin
You were made to be kissed, often and well.
George R. R. Martin
No one who wears a crown is ever safe.
George R. R. Martin
Half-truths are worth more than outright lies.
George R. R. Martin
I have a hole where my heart should be, she thought, and nowhere else to go.
George R. R. Martin
One of the big breakthroughs, I think for me, was reading Robert A. Heinlein's four rules of writing, one of which was, 'You must finish what you write.' I never had any problem with the first one, 'You must write' - I was writing since I was a kid. But I never finished what writing.
George R. R. Martin
I am only a little lion, child, and I vow, I shall not savage you.
George R. R. Martin
So be it. I'll wear my iron and hold my tongue. A man who won't listen can't hear.
George R. R. Martin
Sleep is a little death, dreams the whisperings of the Other, who would drag us all into his eternal night.
George R. R. Martin
A fair bargain leaves both sides unhappy.
George R. R. Martin
Once a man has seen a dragon in flight, let him stay home and tend his garden in content, someone had written once, for this wide world has no greater wonder. Tyrion scratched at his scar and tried to recall the author's name.
George R. R. Martin
In the world as I have seen it, no man grows rich by kindness.
