As a rule reading fiction is as hard to me as trying to hit a target by hurling feathers at it. I need resistance to celebrate! - William James
As much as I love historical fiction, my problem with historical fiction is that you always know what's going to happen. - George R. R. Martin
Fiction is lies; we're writing about people who never existed and events that never happened when we write fiction, whether its science fiction or fantasy or western mystery stories or so-called literary stories. All those things are essentially untrue. But it has to have a truth at the core of it. - George R. R. Martin
I have always regarded historical fiction and fantasy as sisters under the skin, two genres separated at birth. - George R. R. Martin
