I can be humbler than anyone.
George R. R. Martin
Yes - 90% of fantasy is crap. And so is 90% of science fiction and 90% of mystery fiction and 90% of literary fiction.
George R. R. Martin
Tolkien made the wrong choice when he brought Gandalf back. Screw Gandalf. He had a great death and the characters should have had to go on without him.
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks on us, but the eyes see true. Look with your eyes. Hear with your ears. Taste with your mouth. Smell with your nose. Feel with your skin. Then comes the thinking, afterward, and in a way knowing the truth.
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 mistake patience for forbearance.
George R. R. Martin
Some truths did not bear saying, and some lies were necessary.
George R. R. Martin
I would choose freedom over comfort every time.
George R. R. Martin
The man who never reads lives only one.
George R. R. Martin
I have always regarded historical fiction and fantasy as sisters under the skin, two genres separated at birth.
George R. R. Martin
Noseless and Handless, the Lannister Boys.
George R. R. Martin
Control your generosity when dealing with a chronic borrower.
George R. R. Martin
His time was past, her handmaid Irri declared. No man should live longer than his teeth.
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
I heard of a man who had a razor made of Valyrian steel. He cut his head off trying to shave.
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
You do not steal from the dragon, oh, no. The dragon remembers.
George R. R. Martin
I work for two years on a book and it comes out and two days later I've got my first e-mail: When is the next one coming out?
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'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
