More quotes by 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
People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy. So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss co-creators of 'Game Of Thrones') are even bloodier than I am.
George R. R. Martin
I rose too high, loved too hard, dared too much. I tried to grasp a star, overreached, and fell.
George R. R. Martin
A hedge knight must hold tight to his pride. Without it, he was no more than a sellsword
George R. R. Martin
I wrote six pilots, none of which ever got picked up. When you stop trying, it then it falls in your lap.
George R. R. Martin
So be it. I'll wear my iron and hold my tongue. A man who won't listen can't hear.
George R. R. Martin
In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.
George R. R. Martin
There are ghosts everywhere, Ser Jorah said softly. We carry them with us wherever we go.
George R. R. Martin
Will holding a secret in your heart make it any less true? If you never tell, never speak of it, will it become only a dream, less than a dream, a nightmare half-remembered? Oh, if only the gods would be so good. (Catelyn)
George R. R. Martin
No fight is hopeless till it has been fought.
George R. R. Martin
I like grey characters fantasy for too long has been focused on very stereotypical heroes and villains.
George R. R. Martin
The prejudice is still there, but it's breaking down. You have writers like Michael Chabon and The Yiddish Policemen's Union. He's a writer who's determined to break down genre barriers. He's done amazing things.
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
I have done a lot of work in Hollywood myself. I worked in television for roughly 10 years, from the mid-'80s to mid-'90s. And I was on staff at a couple of shows. I did some feature films, including originals and adaptations.
George R. R. Martin
All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes
George R. R. Martin
One of the things I love, and I'm a voracious reader as well as a writer, is books that surprise me, that are not predictable.
George R. R. Martin
A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.
George R. R. Martin
Clean hands, Sansa. Whatever you do, make certain your hands are clean. ~ Lord Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger
George R. R. Martin
Give me a good sharp knife and a good sharp cheese and I’m a happy man.
George R. R. Martin
I was a novelist first. But in the mid 80s, I did work in television for ten years. And yes, that was frequently the reaction to my scripts. People would say, you know, George, this is great. We love it, a terrific script, but it would cost five times our budget to shoot this.
George R. R. Martin
