Noseless and Handless, the Lannister Boys.
George R. R. Martin
You always try to do your own thing. One of the things I wanted to do was to write a book that combines some of the best traits of contemporary fantasy with some of the traits of the historical novel.
George R. R. Martin
We were talking about the prince,' Sansa said, her voice soft as a kiss. Arya knew which prince she meant: Joffrey, of course. The tall, handsome one. Sansa got to sit with him at the feast. Arya had to sit with the little fat one. Naturally.
George R. R. Martin
Even the sky was grey. Grey and grey and greyer. The whole world grey, everywhere you look, everything grey except the eyes of the bride. The eyes of the bride were brown. Big and brown and full of fear.
George R. R. Martin
I have idea files of books that I want to write one of these days, stories I want to write one of these days, but I'll probably never get to them.
George R. R. Martin
The man is as useless as nipples on a breastplate.

George R. R. Martin
...grief can derange even the strongest and most disciplined of minds.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
Why do the Gods make kings and queens if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?
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
The singers make much of kings who die valiantly in battle, but your life is worth more than a song.
George R. R. Martin
We're setting up mechanisms where we can kill human beings with drones and missiles where you're sitting at a console and pressing the button. We never have to hear their whimpering, or hear them begging for their mother, or dying in horrible realities around us. I don't know if that's necessarily such a good thing.
George R. R. Martin
People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up.
George R. R. Martin
I suppose I'm a lapsed Catholic. You would consider me an atheist or agnostic.
George R. R. Martin
The cable makers are the ones who are willing to take risks and do something original and push the envelope some.
George R. R. Martin
Fear cuts deeper than swords.
George R. R. Martin
In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.
George R. R. Martin
In real life, the hardest aspect of the battle between good and evil is determining which is which.
George R. R. Martin
You are the blood of the dragon. You can make a hat.
George R. R. Martin
