It is one thing to be clever and another to be wise. - George R.R. Martin

"Sleep is good, he said, and books are better."

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

"I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read."

"Writing is like sausage making in my view; you'll all be happier in the end if you just eat the final product without knowing what's gone into it."

"We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously."
