More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Tarly, when I was a lad half your age, my lady mother told me that if I stood about with my mouth open, a weasel was like to mistake it for his lair and run down my throat. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, beware of weasels.
George R. R. Martin
I was just a kid selling monster stories to the kids in the projects, complete with a dramatic reading, making the werewolf sounds. My career was aborted early on because one of my main customers started to have nightmares and his mother came to my mother and my mother shut down my whole business.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
The ones who look the most suspicious are likely innocent. It's the ones who look innocent I need to beware.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
Nothing burns like the cold.
George R. R. Martin
The man who fears losing has already lost.
George R. R. Martin
Why ask for truth, Ser Barristan said softly, if you close your ears to it?
George R. R. Martin
All the world knew that a maester forged his silver link when he learned the art of healing—but the world preferred to forget that men who knew how to heal also knew how to kill.
George R. R. Martin
When you play a game of thrones you win or you die.
George R. R. Martin
All my life men like you've sneered at me, and all my life I've been knocking men like you into the dust.
George R. R. Martin
When we speak of the morrow nothing is ever certain.
George R. R. Martin
Don't write outlines I hate outlines.
George R. R. Martin
The apples stewed with prunes are excellent, except for the prunes, I won't eat prunes myself. Well, there was one time when Hobb chopped them up with chesnuts and carrots and hid them in a hen. Never trust a cook, my lord. They'll prune you when you least expect it.
George R. R. Martin
A mad man sees what he sees.
George R. R. Martin
I can be humbler than anyone.
