“Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end.”
― George R.R. Martin

― Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn Trilogy

“The man who fears losing has already lost.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“I will find you.
In the farthest corner, I will find you.”
