...spend my time warring and whoring, that's what I was made for.
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
This world is twisted beyond hope, when lowborn smugglers must vouch for the honor of kings.
George R. R. Martin
Half-truths are worth more than outright lies.
George R. R. Martin
I never wanted to see half the things I've seen, and I've never seen half the things I wanted to. I don't think wanting comes into it. You'd best go all the same.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes he could almost forget that it was there, the way you forget about the sky or the earth underfoot, but there were other times when it seemed as if there was nothing else in the world.

Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna, and thousands died for it.
George R. R. Martin
Tyrion wondered what it would be like to have a twin, and decided that he would rather not know. Bad enough to face himself in a looking glass every day.
George R. R. Martin
There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
A bruise is a lesson... and each lesson makes us better.
George R. R. Martin
She could not bear to look at him just now. If she did, she might well slap him again. Or cry. Or kiss him. And never know which was right and which was wrong and which was madness.
George R. R. Martin
Kings are falling like leaves this autumn.
George R. R. Martin
Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.
George R. R. Martin
Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what's on the other side?
George R. R. Martin
The city? Tyrion was lost. What city would that be? King's Landing. I am sending you to court. It was the last thing Tyrion Lannister would ever have anticipated. He reached for his wine, considered for a moment as he sipped. And what am I to do there? Rule, his father said curtly.
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
