More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Has my tale turned you speechless? Come, curse me or kiss me or call me a liar. Something.
George R. R. Martin
Men's lives have meaning, not their deaths.
George R. R. Martin
Littlefinger: A trade envoy from Lys once observed to me that Lord Stannis must love his daughter very well, since he'd erected hundreds of statues of her all along the walls of Dragonstone. Tyrion: My lord, those are gargoyles.
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 heard of a man who had a razor made of Valyrian steel. He cut his head off trying to shave.
George R. R. Martin
Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna, and thousands died for it.
George R. R. Martin
I believe that a writer learns from every story he writes, and when you try different things, you learn different lessons. Working with other writers, as in Hollywood or in a shared world series, will also strengthen your skills, by exposing you to new ways of seeing the work, and different approaches to certain creative challenges.
George R. R. Martin
The women are the strong ones, truly.
George R. R. Martin
Some men want whores on the eve of battle, and some want gods. Jon wondered who felt better afterward.
George R. R. Martin
She was Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Khaleesi and queen, Mother of Dragons, slayer of warlocks, breaker of chains, and there was no one in the world that she could trust.
George R. R. Martin
The distinction between literary and genre fiction is stupid and pernicious. It dates back to a feud between Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James. James won, and it split literature into two streams. But it's a totally false dichotomy.
George R. R. Martin
We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously.
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.
George R. R. Martin
Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.
George R. R. Martin
You make us look bad', complained Toad. 'You looked bad before I ever met you', Jon told him.
George R. R. Martin
Kind? How boring that would be. I aspire to be wicked.
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
I’d be anonymous. That’s what I’d do differently.
George R. R. Martin
You do not steal from the dragon, oh, no. The dragon remembers.
George R. R. Martin
I love fantasy. I grew up reading fantasy. But, I wanted to put a somewhat different spin on it. The whole trope of absolute good versus absolute evil, which was wonderful in the hands of J.R. Tolkien, became cliche and rote in the hands of the many Tolkien imitators that followed.
