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 been despised by better men than you.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
I have a huge emotional attachment to characters I've created, especially the viewpoint characters.
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
If ice can burn, then love and hate can mate.
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
A bag of dragons buys a man's silence for a while, but a well-placed quarrel buys it forever.
George R. R. Martin
But my philosophy is that plot advancement is not what the experience of reading fiction is about. If all we care about is advancing the plot, why read novels? We can just read Cliffs Notes.
George R. R. Martin
I've written some standalone novels, but a book series allows fans in. There's much more intense involvement.
George R. R. Martin
Those are brave men, he told Ser Balon in admiration. Let's go kill them.
