More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Sleep is a little death, dreams the whisperings of the Other, who would drag us all into his eternal night.
George R. R. Martin
My biggest dream was to ruin the lives of my readers and crush their souls... And I really think that worked out pretty well for me.
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 would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That's like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft.
George R. R. Martin
I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off.
George R. R. Martin
Do you want to die old and craven in your bed?- How else? Though not till I'm done reading.
George R. R. Martin
These old knights are more cunning than you think, or they would never have lived to see their first grey hair.
George R. R. Martin
Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true?
George R. R. Martin
One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.
George R. R. Martin
Sam loved to listen to music and make his own songs, to wear soft velvets, to play in the castle kitchen beside the cooks, drinking in the rich smells as he snitched lemon cakes and blueberry tarts. His passions were books and kittens and dancing, clumsy as he was.
George R. R. Martin
And I tell you truly, Danaerys, there is no man in all the world who will ever be half so true to you as me.
George R. R. Martin
Fear cuts deeper than swords.
George R. R. Martin
Ser Jaime? Even in soiled pink satin and torn lace, Brienne looked more like a man in a gown than a proper woman.I am grateful, but...you were well away. Why come back? A dozen quips came to mind, each crueler than the one before, but Jaime only shrugged. I dreamed of you, he said.
George R. R. Martin
Mothers. The man made a word sound like a curse. I think birthing does something to your minds. You are all mad.
George R. R. Martin
He is a man of the Night's Watch, She thought, as he sang about some stupid lady throwing herself off some stupid tower because her stupid prince was dead. The lady should go kill the ones who killed her prince. Arya Stark (page 514)
George R. R. Martin
We're setting up mechanisms where we can kill human beings with drones and missiles where you're sitting at a console and pressing the button. We never have to hear their whimpering, or hear them begging for their mother, or dying in horrible realities around us. I don't know if that's necessarily such a good thing.
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
I need to sleep, but fear to dream.
George R. R. Martin
Life is not a song, sweetling. Someday you may learn that, to your sorrow.
George R. R. Martin
Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers.
