George R. R. Martin
Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers.

George R. R. Martin
A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
If the novels are still being read in 50 years, no one is ever going to say: 'What's great about that sixth book is that he met his deadline!' It will be about how the whole thing stands up.
George R. R. Martin
I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by, the way Viserys said they smiled for my father. (Daenerys)
George R. R. Martin
If half an onion is black with rot, it is a rotten onion. A man is good or he is evil. (Melisandre of Asshai)
George R. R. Martin
Will holding a secret in your heart make it any less true? If you never tell, never speak of it, will it become only a dream, less than a dream, a nightmare half-remembered? Oh, if only the gods would be so good. (Catelyn)
George R. R. Martin
Nothing burns like the cold.
George R. R. Martin
If ice can burn, then love and hate can mate.
George R. R. Martin
When you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him.
George R. R. Martin
As a writer, my goal, (which I'm never going to achieve, and I know that, and no writer can achieve that,) but my goal is to make you almost live the books. I want you to fall through that page and feel as if these things are happening to you.
George R. R. Martin
