Sooner would be better than later, and now would be better than sooner. - Tyrion
George R. R. Martin
If you die before you say her name, ser, I will hunt you through all seven hells.
George R. R. Martin
As we sin, so do we suffer
George R. R. Martin
As much as I love historical fiction, my problem with historical fiction is that you always know what's going to happen.
George R. R. Martin
A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.
George R. R. Martin
He who hurries through life hurries to his grave.
George R. R. Martin
When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, she said sadly. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When my womb quickens again, and I bear a living child. Then you will return, my sun-and-stars, and not before. -Daenerys Targaryen
George R. R. Martin
Perhaps I cannot make my people good, she told herself, but I should at least try to make them a little less bad.
George R. R. Martin
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. Look her in the eyes before you kill her. See her tears, hear her last words. You owe her that much at least. - Eddard Stark
George R. R. Martin
The truth is all around you, plain to behold. The night is dark and full of terrors, the day bright and beautiful and full of hope. One is black, the other white. There is ice and there is fire. Hate and love. Bitter and sweet. Male and female. Pain and pleasure. Winter and summer. Evil and good. Death and life. Everywhere, opposites.
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
In the world as I have seen it, no man grows rich by kindness.
George R. R. Martin
As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.
George R. R. Martin
a man who hates music can’t be trusted, I always say.
George R. R. Martin
Tears, she said scornfully to Sansa as the woman was led from the hall. The woman's weapon, my lady mother used to call them. The man's weapon is a sword. And that tells us all you need to know, doesn't it?
George R. R. Martin
Summer will end soon enough, and childhood as well.
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
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
One of the big breakthroughs, I think for me, was reading Robert A. Heinlein's four rules of writing, one of which was, 'You must finish what you write.' I never had any problem with the first one, 'You must write' - I was writing since I was a kid. But I never finished what writing.
George R. R. Martin
Nothing burns like the cold. But only for a while. Then it gets inside you and starts to fill you up, and after a while you don't have the strength to fight it.
George R. R. Martin
