More quotes by George R. R. Martin
When we speak of the morrow nothing is ever certain.
George R. R. Martin
If I wanted to honor you, I´d let you retire. I am planing to make you run the kingdom and fight the wars while I eat and drink
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
Jay wondered how they'd feel the morning they all woke up and realized that somehow Camelot had turned into Mordor.
George R. R. Martin
A frightened man is a beaten man.
George R. R. Martin
The truth is all around you, plain to behold. The night is dark and full of terrors, the day bright and beautiful and full of hope. One is black, the other white. There is ice and there is fire. Hate and love. Bitter and sweet. Male and female. Pain and pleasure. Winter and summer. Evil and good. Death and life. Everywhere, opposites.
George R. R. Martin
Books are dead men talking.
George R. R. Martin
Everyone who isn't us is an enemy. - Cersei
George R. R. Martin
The High Septon once told me that as we sin, so do we suffer.
George R. R. Martin
There has never been a slave who did not choose to be a slave. Their choice may be between bondage and death, but the choice is always there.
George R. R. Martin
He understood the way that you could sometimes fall right into them, as if each page was a hole into another world.
George R. R. Martin
Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
George R. R. Martin
I'm honest. It's the world that's awful.
George R. R. Martin
There are too many steps in this castle, and it seems to me they add a few every night, just to vex me - Maester Cressen
George R. R. Martin
No mortal man could frighten him, no more than the darkness could, nor the bones of his soul, the grey and grisly bones of his soul.
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
Every once in a very long while, Lord Tywin Lannister would actually threaten to smile he never did, but the threat alone was terrible to behold.
George R. R. Martin
History is a wheel, for the nature of man is fundamentally unchanging. What has happened before will perforce happen again.
George R. R. Martin
You make us look bad', complained Toad. 'You looked bad before I ever met you', Jon told him.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes he could almost forget that it was there, the way you forget about the sky or the earth underfoot, but there were other times when it seemed as if there was nothing else in the world.
George R. R. Martin
