More quotes by George R. R. Martin
A thousand deaths would still be less than he deserves.
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
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
Man wants to be the king o' the rabbits, he best wear a pair o' floppy ears.
George R. R. Martin
I've written some standalone novels, but a book series allows fans in. There's much more intense involvement.
George R. R. Martin
I will teach them what it means to put a lion in a cage, Cersei thought.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes I think everyone is just pretending to be brave, and none of us really are. Maybe pretending is how you get brave, I don't know.
George R. R. Martin
Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli.
George R. R. Martin
When the sun has set, no candle can replace it.
George R. R. Martin
If I die, I die friendless and abandoned. What choice did that leave him, but to live?
George R. R. Martin
Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.
George R. R. Martin
Power resides only where men believe it resides. [...] A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.
George R. R. Martin
I could have written a story about a well-adjusted family. Ned Stark comes down to King’s Landing and takes over and solves all their problems. Would that have been as exciting?
George R. R. Martin
I have touched more men that I can count. Some with my lips, more with my axe.
George R. R. Martin
All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes
George R. R. Martin
The best writing advice I had was [in] ‘Heinlein’s Rules for Writers’ by (American science fiction author) Robert A. Heinlein. His first rule is that you must write, and I was already doing that, but his second rule is, ‘You must finish what you write,’ and that had a big impact on me.
George R. R. Martin
I grew up with four T.V. channels. If you missed a show, you missed it. You gotta wait a week for the next one. I'd mail-order books: take a quarter, get an envelope, send off for it and wait until it arrived. I grew up waiting for things.
George R. R. Martin
We're children. We're supposed to be childish.
George R. R. Martin
Knowledge is a Weapon, Jon. Arm yourself well before you ride forth to Battle.
George R. R. Martin
The odd thing about being a writer is you do tend to lose yourself in your books. Sometimes it seems like real life is flickering by and you're hardly a part of it. You remember the events in your books better than you remember the events that actually took place when you were writing them.
