Clean hands, Sansa. Whatever you do, make certain your hands are clean. ~ Lord Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger
George R. R. Martin
They are children, Sansa thought. They are silly little girls, even Elinor. They’ve never seen a battle, they’ve never seen a man die, they know nothing. Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her fathers head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them.
George R. R. Martin
I have been despised by better men than you.
George R. R. Martin
It's not, Mormont told him. Gods save us, boy, you're not blind and you're not stupid. When dead men come hunting in the night, do you think it matters who sits the Iron Throne?
George R. R. Martin
It is being common-born that is dangerous, when the great lords play their game of thrones.
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
Too stupid to learn and too stupid to give up.
George R. R. Martin
I've always preferred writing about grey characters and human characters. Whether they are giants or elves or dwarves, or whatever they are, they're still human, and the human heart is still in conflict with the self.
George R. R. Martin
You've got a bold tongue, little man. One day, someone is like to cut it out and make you eat it.
George R. R. Martin
I had an encyclopedia with a list of flags in the back, so I would look at all these flags of China and Liberia and England and Denmark and whatever, and I learned all the different flags and I tried to imagine what it would be like to be voyaging on some of these ships.
George R. R. Martin
a man who hates music can’t be trusted, I always say.
George R. R. Martin
One of the things I love, and I'm a voracious reader as well as a writer, is books that surprise me, that are not predictable.
George R. R. Martin
The white horse and the black one wheeled like lovers at a harvest dance, the riders throwing steel in place of kisses.
George R. R. Martin
I knew that, when writing a book, you're not constrained by a budget. You're not constrained by what you can do, in terms of the special effects technology. You're not limited to any particular running time.
George R. R. Martin
Noseless and Handless, the Lannister Boys.
George R. R. Martin
...spend my time warring and whoring, that's what I was made for.
George R. R. Martin
So many vows … they make you swear and swear. Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It’s too much. No matter what you do, you’re forsaking one vow or another.
George R. R. Martin
I can see a scene in my head, and when I try to get it down in words on paper, the words are clunky the scene is not coming across right. So frustrating. And there are days where it keeps flowing. Open the floodgates, and there it is. Pages and pages coming. Where the hell does this all come from? I don't know.
George R. R. Martin
If a man paints a target on his chest, he should expect that sooner or later someone will loose an arrow on him.
George R. R. Martin
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. Look her in the eyes before you kill her. See her tears, hear her last words. You owe her that much at least. - Eddard Stark
