He was no dragon, Dany thought, curiously calm. Fire cannot kill a dragon
George R. R. Martin
A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.
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
If you die before you say her name, ser, I will hunt you through all seven hells.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
I just need to rest, that’s all, to rest and sleep some, and maybe die a little.
George R. R. Martin
You kill men for the wrongs they have done, not the wrongs that they may do someday.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
And all was black and still, and black and cold, and black and dead, and black.
George R. R. Martin
What the King dreams, the Hand builds.
George R. R. Martin
Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same.
George R. R. Martin
Those are brave men, he told Ser Balon in admiration. Let's go kill them.
George R. R. Martin
He understood the way that you could sometimes fall right into them, as if each page was a hole into another world.
George R. R. Martin
Clean hands, Sansa. Whatever you do, make certain your hands are clean. ~ Lord Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger
George R. R. Martin
I had these cheap alien toys and I made up stories for them. They were space pirates. They didn’t have names so I made up names. These were the first stories I wrote. Even as a little kid I was thinking about torture.
George R. R. Martin
The greatest fools are ofttimes more clever than the men who laugh at them.
George R. R. Martin
She just laughed in his face and told him she'd sooner crawl in a bed with his father's leeches before she'd crawl in one with him. She stopped laughing when he put his knife in her.
George R. R. Martin
I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off.
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.
