More quotes by George R. R. Martin
It was a cruel fate, Yet not so cruel as Mago's will be. I promise you that, by the old gods and the new, by the lamb god and the horse god and every god that lives. I swear by the Mother of Mountains and the Womb of the World. Before I am done with them, Mago and Ko Jhaqo will plead for the mercy they showed Eroeh.
George R. R. Martin
Some truths did not bear saying, and some lies were necessary.
George R. R. Martin
And the mystery knight should defeat all challengers and name the wolf maid the queen of love and beauty.
George R. R. Martin
There are two kinds of writers. There are architects and gardeners. The architects do blueprints before they drive the first nail. The gardeners just dig a hole and plant the seed and see what comes up.
George R. R. Martin
In the game of thrones, even the humblest pieces can have wills of their own. Sometimes they refuse to make the moves you've planned for them.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
Kind? How boring that would be. I aspire to be wicked.
George R. R. Martin
I think my very earliest stories were all intellectual exercises and I was writing from experiences I had never had about characters who were about an inch deep.
George R. R. Martin
The Iron Throne is mine by rights. All those who deny that are my foes. The whole of the realm denies it, brother, said Renley. Old men deny it with their death rattle, and unborn children deny it in their mothers' wombs. They deny it in Dorne and they deny it on the Wall. No one wants you for their king. Sorry.
George R. R. Martin
One of your northmen hit me with a morningstar during the battle on the Green Fork. I escaped him by falling off my horse. (Tyrion)
George R. R. Martin
Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow. Tyrion smiled. Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it. I will take that as high praise.
George R. R. Martin
And all was black and still, and black and cold, and black and dead, and black.
George R. R. Martin
...grief can derange even the strongest and most disciplined of minds.
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
The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.
George R. R. Martin
The true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves.
George R. R. Martin
A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.
