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
Every man should lose a battle in his youth, so he does not lose a war when he is old.
George R. R. Martin
Clean hands, Sansa. Whatever you do, make certain your hands are clean. ~ Lord Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger
George R. R. Martin
...and when you’ve known me longer, you’ll learn that I mean everything I say.” “Even the lies?” “Especially the lies.
George R. R. Martin
I believe that a writer learns from every story he writes, and when you try different things, you learn different lessons. Working with other writers, as in Hollywood or in a shared world series, will also strengthen your skills, by exposing you to new ways of seeing the work, and different approaches to certain creative challenges.
George R. R. Martin
Great wrongs have been done you, but the past is dust. The future may yet be won.
George R. R. Martin
Better to mock the game than to play and lose.
George R. R. Martin
When the end comes, I will meet it raging.
George R. R. Martin
Power resides where men believe it to reside.
George R. R. Martin
I could have written a story about a well-adjusted family. Ned Stark comes down to King’s Landing and takes over and solves all their problems. Would that have been as exciting?
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
Why should death make a man truthful, or even clever? The dead are likely dull fellows, full of tedious complaints - the ground's too cold, my gravestone should be larger, why does he get more worms than I do.
George R. R. Martin
Kind? How boring that would be. I aspire to be wicked.
George R. R. Martin
The Lord of Light in his wisdom made us male and female, two parts of a greater whole. In our joining there is power. Power to make life. Power to make light. Power to cast shadows.
George R. R. Martin
I have been despised by better men than you.
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
When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, she said sadly. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When my womb quickens again, and I bear a living child. Then you will return, my sun-and-stars, and not before. -Daenerys Targaryen
George R. R. Martin
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
I have a hole where my heart should be, she thought, and nowhere else to go.
George R. R. Martin
She was Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Khaleesi and queen, Mother of Dragons, slayer of warlocks, breaker of chains, and there was no one in the world that she could trust.
George R. R. Martin
