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

“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.”

“They hate you because you act like you're better than they are...." "[they are] Four that you humiliated in the yard. Four who are probably afraid of you. I’ve watched you fight. It’s not training with you. Put a good edge on your sword, and they’d be dead meat; you know it, I know it, they know it. You leave them nothing. You shame them. Does that make you proud?”

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

“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!”

“Jon Snow, is this a proper castle now? Not just a tower?”

“We go by the will of the black rabbit. When he calls you, you have to go”

“The people one loves should take all their things with them when they die.”

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”

“Hope in the beginning feels like such a violation of the loss, and yet without it we couldn't survive.”

“I've grieved enough for his life cut short and for mine for running on for so long with so little in it. It's weakness now, but I suppose I am crying out of a general sense of loss. Maybe I am mourning for the human condition.”
