George R R Martin Quotes

Dragons old and young, true and false, bright and dark. And you. A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of all Picture Quote #1

All my life men like you’ve sneered at me, and all my life I’ve been knocking men like you into the dust Picture Quote #1

Perhaps I cannot make my people good, she told herself, but I should at least try to make them a little less bad Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you Picture Quote #1

The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real... for a moment at least... that long magic moment before we wake Picture Quote #1

... Ned always said that the man who passes the sentence should swing the blade, though he never took any joy in the duty. But I would, oh, yes Picture Quote #1

We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang Picture Quote #1

Summer is the time for squabbles. In winter, we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths Picture Quote #1

It’s different for every writer. It’s not a career for anyone who needs security. It’s a career for gamblers. It’s a career of ups and downs Picture Quote #1

I’ve been very lucky. There were times when I was afraid I would never sell another book, but I never doubted I’d write another book Picture Quote #1

My biggest dream was to ruin the lives of my readers and crush their souls... And I really think that worked out pretty well for me Picture Quote #1

I never finished any of my early stories. They were all beginnings, an endless number of beginnings Picture Quote #1

There’s part of me that loves words. But sometimes it feels like you’re trying to drive nails with your shoe Picture Quote #1

I’m fond of all my characters so every time one doesn’t make the cut I’m a little disappointed although I understand it Picture Quote #1

Generally speaking, I’m much more in favour of penises entering vaginas than axes entering skulls. But the world seems to accept the violence a lot easier than the sex Picture Quote #1

One of the hardest parts of writing is writing from the gut or the heart or something like that rather than intellectually Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Jon Snow had dreamed of leading men to glory just as King Daeron had, of growing up to be a conqueror. Now he was a man grown and the Wall was his, yet all he had were doubts. He could not even seem to conquer those Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I have any particular views about women in positions of power, though I do think it’s more difficult for women, particularly in a Medieval setting. They have the additional problem that they’re a woman and people don’t want them in a position of power in an essentially patriarchal society Picture Quote #1

The odd thing about being a writer is you do tend to lose yourself in your books. Sometimes it seems like real life is flickering by and you’re hardly a part of it. You remember the events in your books better than you remember the events that actually took place when you were writing them Picture Quote #1

With a book I am the writer and I am also the director and I’m all of the actors and I’m the special effects guy and the lighting technician: I’m all of that. So if it’s good or bad, it’s all up to me Picture Quote #1

I have some other novels I want to write. I have a lot of short stories - I love the short story Picture Quote #1

I watch NFL football on Sundays. I enjoy gaming with friends, meaning role-playing games; I still enjoy going to conventions and traveling Picture Quote #1

I’ve written some standalone novels, but a book series allows fans in. There’s much more intense involvement Picture Quote #1

As Faulkner says, all of us have the capacity in us for great good and for great evil, for love but also for hate. I wanted to write those kinds of complex character in a fantasy, and not just have all the good people get together to fight the bad guy Picture Quote #1

I can see a scene in my head, and when I try to get it down in words on paper, the words are clunky; the scene is not coming across right. So frustrating. And there are days where it keeps flowing. Open the floodgates, and there it is. Pages and pages coming. Where the hell does this all come from? I don’t know Picture Quote #1

I had this desire to see the world. I couldn’t see any of it, but I saw it in my imagination, and that’s why I always read books, and I could go to Mars or Middle Earth or the Hyborian age Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I try to make the readers feel they’ve lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it? Picture Quote #1
