This world is twisted beyond hope, when lowborn smugglers must vouch for the honor of kings.

You are an honest and honorable man...Ofttimes I forget that. I have met so few of them in my life.
honor davos knows
What would a Frey know of honor? - Sir Davos Seaworth
men brave honor
A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor. Yet soon or late in every man's life comes a day when it is not easy, a day when he must choose. (Maester Aemon)
office honor littlefinger

honor existence questioning
I am not questioning your honor, I am denying its existence.
love-is honor duty
Love is the bane of honor, the death of duty.
war struggle fighting
A great many of the epic fantasies, from The Lord of the Rings onward, are about war, but to my mind, a lot of it doesn't really deal honestly with the consequences of war, what war does to us, as a society, what war does to us, as individuals, and the struggle for power, in the same way, and what we're fighting for.
reading hands evil
I love fantasy. I grew up reading fantasy. But, I wanted to put a somewhat different spin on it. The whole trope of absolute good versus absolute evil, which was wonderful in the hands of J.R. Tolkien, became cliche and rote in the hands of the many Tolkien imitators that followed.
book years games
Most people were startled to find out there were books that preceded Game Of Thrones. I'm a case of working forty years to be an overnight success.
mother reading kids
I was just a kid selling monster stories to the kids in the projects, complete with a dramatic reading, making the werewolf sounds. My career was aborted early on because one of my main customers started to have nightmares and his mother came to my mother and my mother shut down my whole business.
book writing numbers
There are a number of things that I'm trying to get into the books. There's a meta-fictional aspect, if I may use that pretentious word, to writing anything. You're writing in the shadow of all the people that have gone before and, in a way, you're having a dialogue with them. As someone who's read J.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard and all the great fantasists before, this is almost my answer to them.
