It´s only words: George Martin

We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sing. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.

They can keep their heaven. When I die, I’d rather go to Middle Earth.

- George R. R. Martin
