Truth Quote by George R.R. Martin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.”

“Fat men take a cushion with them wherever they go.”

“Why won't they let me be? I just need to rest, that's all, to rest and sleep some, and maybe die a little.”

“Hodor!”

“You ought to be blowing me kisses, wench.”

“It is one thing to be clever and another to be wise.”

“When a man has a gift in speaking the truth, brute aggression is no longer his security blanket for approval. He, on the contrary, spends most of his energy trying to tone it down because his very nature is already offensive enough.”

“Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say 'No, you move'.”

“The Friendship is not a reward for our discrimination and good taste in finding one another out. IT is the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauties of all the others. They are no greater than the beauties of a thousand other men; by Friendship God opens our eyes to them. They are, like all beauties, derived from Him, and then, in a good Friendship, increased by Him through the Friendship itself, so that it is His instrument for creating as well as for revealing. At this feast it is he who has spread the board and it is He who has chosen the guests. It is He, we may dare to hope, who sometimes does, and always should, preside. Let us not reckon without our Host.”

“If man could apply half the ingenuity he’s exhibited in the creation of weapons to more sensible ends, there’s no limit to what he might yet accomplish”

“Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.”
