I did not do it. Yet now I wish I had.’ He turned to face the hall, that sea of pale faces. ‘I wish I had enough poison for you all. You make me sorry that I am not the monster you would have me be, yet there it is. I am innocent, but I will get no justice here.
George R. R. Martin
All dwarfs may be bastards yet not all bastards are dwarfs.
George R. R. Martin
If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it?
George R. R. Martin
You look different now. Like a proper little girl, (said Gendry.) I look like an oak tree, with all these stupid acorns, (said Arya.) Nice, though. A nice oak tree. [...] You even smell nice for a change.
George R. R. Martin
We're children. We're supposed to be childish.
George R. R. Martin
A cold wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things.
