You may be as different as the sun and the moon, but the same blood flows through both your hearts. You need her, as she needs you.

He had found over the years that silence sometimes yielded more than questions. And so it was this time.

I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living sort in blood.

That was the way of this cold world, where men fished the sea and dug in the ground and died, whilst women brought forth short-lived children from beds of blood and pain.

The best writing advice I had was [in] ‘Heinlein’s Rules for Writers’ by (American science fiction author) Robert A. Heinlein. His first rule is that you must write, and I was already doing that, but his second rule is, ‘You must finish what you write,’ and that had a big impact on me.

When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. Elsewise no man will ever bend the knee to you

You're mine," she whispered. "Mine, as I'm yours. And if we die, we die. All men must die, Jon Snow. But first, we'll live.

I don’t know what message to send to Bran. Help him Tyrion.” “What help could I give him? I am no maester, to ease his pain. I have no spell to give him back his legs.” “You gave me help when I needed it” Jon Snow said. “I gave you nothing,” Tyrion said. “Words.” “Then give your words to Bran too.

A fair bargain leaves both sides unhappy.

You don't just have people who wake up in the morning and say, "What evil things can I do today, because I'm Mr. Evil?" People do things for what they think are justified reasons. Everybody is the hero of their own story, and you have to keep that in mind. If you read a lot of history, as I do, even the worst and most monstrous people thought they were the good guys. We're all very tangled knots.

- Some men think because they are afraid to do. - There is a difference between fear and caution.

I would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That's like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft.

Some writers enjoy writing, I am told. Not me. I enjoy having written.

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

History is a wheel, for the nature of man is fundamentally unchanging. What has happened before will perforce happen again.

When treating with liars, even an honest man must lie.

Why do the Gods make kings and queens if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?

What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.
