As faulkner says, all of us have the capacity in us for great good and for great evil, for love but also for hate. i wanted to write those kinds of complex character in a fantasy, and not just have all the good people get together to fight the bad guy.

Hate Writing Character

More From George R. R. Martin

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car. i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate it, i hate the way you're always right. i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Welcome to fight club. the first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! third rule of fight club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. no shirt, no shoes, no weapons. seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. and the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

I really wish that peoplewould just say, 'yes, it's a comic. yes, this is fantasy. yes, this is science fiction,' and defend the genre instead of saying, 'horror is a bit passe so this is dark fantasy,' and that' s playing someone else's game. so that's why i say i'm a fantasy writer and to hell with 'it doesn't read like what i think of as a fantasy'. in that case what you think of as a fantasy is not a fantasy. or there is more to it than you think.

There has been a lot of bad fantasy in the past - i'm by no means saying that all classic fantasy out there is bad - but there has been a lot of bad fantasy written by people who read a lot of fantasy and so all they keep doing is recycling it.
Mean Past People
There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. if one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. there's always the same amount of good and evil, too. we can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. and when evil moves, some good always goes with it. but we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. all we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. that's when things get scary. life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.

In a 91-part series of sob stories from the laid off and the disgruntled, the ny times is in the midst of bemoaning 'the downsizing of america' - better known as 'the whining of america.' the cause of all the heartache, in the esteemed newspaper of record's view, appears to be heartless corporate chieftains - as well as capitalism itself. americans are moving forward, despite shackles. the shackles i am referring to are not nafta, not corporations. they are, instead, the barriers imposed by our own government.

I had saved a few hundred photos of dodo skeletons into my 'creative projects' folder - it's a repository for my brain, everything that i could possibly be interested in. any time i have an internet connection, there's a sluice of stuff moving into there, everything from beautiful rings to cockpit photos.
