George R. R. Martin
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
George R. R. Martin
It is one thing to be clever and another to be wise.
George R. R. Martin
Jon Snow: I'm not afraid to die. Mormont: Nor life, I hope.
George R. R. Martin
