You are grown so very great now, yet the higher a man climbs the farther he has to fall.
George R. R. MartinIf I wanted to honor you, Iยดd let you retire. I am planing to make you run the kingdom and fight the wars while I eat and drink
George R. R. MartinI'm fond of all my characters so every time one doesn't make the cut I'm a little disappointed although I understand it.
George R. R. MartinThe gods made the earth for all men t' share. Only when the kings come with their crowns and steel swords, they claimed it was all theirs. "My trees," they said, "you can't eat them apples. My stream, you can't fish here. My wood, you're not t' hunt. My earth, my water, my castle, my daughter, keep your hands away or I'll chop 'em off, but maybe if you kneel t' me I'll let you have a sniff." You call us thieves, but at least a thief has t' be brave and clever and quick. A kneeler only has t' kneel.
George R. R. Martin
