I get up every day and work in the morning. I have my coffee and get to work. On good days I look up and it's dark outside and the whole day has gone by and I don't know where it's gone. But there's bad days, too. Where I struggle and sweat and a half hour creeps by and I've written three words. And half a day creeps by and I've written a sentence and a half and then I quit for the day and play computer games. You know, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you. [Laughs]

George R. R. MartinWhen 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. MartinIt was the easiest thing in the world for Arya to step up behind him and stab him. โIs there gold hidden in the village?โ she shouted as she drove the blade up through his back. โIs there silver? Gems?โ She stabbed twice more. โIs there food? Where is Lord Beric?โ She was on top of him by then, still stabbing. โWhere did he go? How many men were with him? How many knights? How many bowmen? How many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many? is there gold in the village?
