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
She narrowed her eyes. “What is our heart’s desire?” “Vengeance.” His voice was soft, as if he were afraid that someone might be listening. “Justice.” Prince Doran pressed the onyx dragon into her palm with his swollen, gouty fingers, and whispered, “Fire and blood.

Ser Cleos looked like a weasel, fought like a goose, and had the courage of an especially brave ewe.
George R. R. Martin
I would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That's like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft.

Power is a trick. It lies where we believe it lies.
George R. R. Martin
When you have known the kiss of a flaying knife, a laugh loses all its power to hurt you.
George R. R. Martin
The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.
George R. R. Martin
As much as I love historical fiction, my problem with historical fiction is that you always know what's going to happen.
George R. R. Martin
