More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Kill me, and be cursed. You are no king of mine.
George R. R. Martin
All dwarfs may be bastards yet not all bastards are dwarfs.
George R. R. Martin
For the night is dark and full of terrors.
George R. R. Martin
This world is twisted beyond hope, when lowborn smugglers must vouch for the honor of kings.
George R. R. Martin
A man could not always be where he belonged, though.
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
Come at once, she had written to him. Help me. Save me. I need you now as I have never needed you before. I love you. I love you. I love you. Come at once
George R. R. Martin
I suppose I'm a lapsed Catholic. You would consider me an atheist or agnostic.
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
You are an honest and honorable man...Ofttimes I forget that. I have met so few of them in my life.
George R. R. Martin
I was a novelist first. But in the mid 80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, you know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.
George R. R. Martin
Do dead man dream? The dead themselves are silent on the matter
George R. R. Martin
Tolkien made the wrong choice when he brought Gandalf back. Screw Gandalf. He had a great death and the characters should have had to go on without him.
George R. R. Martin
The eunuch had looked death in the face, so near he might have kissed her on the lips.
George R. R. Martin
What do we say to the Lord of Death? Not today.
George R. R. Martin
I always give my students exercises where they really have to open a vein and bleed all over the paper and that's the way you get the important characters. Sooner or later every writer worth reading writes a story his mother wouldn't read and having to get that stuff out is part of one's growth as a writer.
George R. R. Martin
Sorcery is the sauce fools spoon over failure to hide the flavor of their own incompetence.
George R. R. Martin
Fiction is lies we're writing about people who never existed and events that never happened when we write fiction, whether its science fiction or fantasy or western mystery stories or so-called literary stories. All those things are essentially untrue. But it has to have a truth at the core of it.
George R. R. Martin
Only a fool humbles himself when the world is so full of men eager to do that job for him. (Theon Greyjoy)
George R. R. Martin
You should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care.
George R. R. Martin
