More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next.
George R. R. Martin
So young, said Wyman Manderly, Though mayhaps this was a blessing. Had he lived he would've grown up to be a Frey.
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.
George R. R. Martin
If the novels are still being read in 50 years, no one is ever going to say: 'What's great about that sixth book is that he met his deadline!' It will be about how the whole thing stands up.
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
Better to mock the game than to play and lose.
George R. R. Martin
He is a man of the Night's Watch, She thought, as he sang about some stupid lady throwing herself off some stupid tower because her stupid prince was dead. The lady should go kill the ones who killed her prince. Arya Stark (page 514)
George R. R. Martin
The truth is all around you, plain to behold. The night is dark and full of terrors, the day bright and beautiful and full of hope. One is black, the other white. There is ice and there is fire. Hate and love. Bitter and sweet. Male and female. Pain and pleasure. Winter and summer. Evil and good. Death and life. Everywhere, opposites.
George R. R. Martin
I know nothing and perhaps I never will.
George R. R. Martin
One of the things I love, and I'm a voracious reader as well as a writer, is books that surprise me, that are not predictable.
George R. R. Martin
Kind? How boring that would be. I aspire to be wicked.
George R. R. Martin
You little fool. Tears are not a woman's only weapon. You've got another one between your legs, and you'd best learn to use it. You'll find men use their swords freely enough. Both kinds of swords.
George R. R. Martin
If I die, I die friendless and abandoned. What choice did that leave him, but to live?
George R. R. Martin
There are two kinds of writers. There are architects and gardeners. The architects do blueprints before they drive the first nail. The gardeners just dig a hole and plant the seed and see what comes up.
George R. R. Martin
I’d be anonymous. That’s what I’d do differently.
George R. R. Martin
I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.
George R. R. Martin
A crown should not sit easy on the head.
George R. R. Martin
Eat your heart out, Rowling. Maybe you have billions of dollars and my Hugo, but you don't have readers like these.
George R. R. Martin
What would a Frey know of honor? - Sir Davos Seaworth
George R. R. Martin
Perhaps I cannot make my people good, she told herself, but I should at least try to make them a little less bad.
George R. R. Martin
