A Song of Ice and Fire

"When men are dying every hour, no one looks too hard at one more dead man."

"The most insidious thing about bondage was how easy it was to grow accustomed to it."

"At night Tyrion would oft hear her praying. A waste of words. If there are gods to listen, they are monstrous gods who torment us for their sport. Who else would make a world like this, so full of bondage, blood, and pain?"

"“You are not wrong.” Jon said. “I do not know. And if the gods are good, I never will.” “The gods are seldom good, Jon Snow.”"

"No dragon chair can replace a dragon no matter how elaborately it's carved."

"She wants fire, and Dorne sent her mud. You could make a poultice out of mud to cool a fever. You could plant seeds in mud and grow a crop to feed your children. Mud would nourish you, where fire would only consume you, but fools and children and young girls would choose fire every time."

"The Drowned God did not answer. He seldom did. That was the trouble with gods."

"Pain is the price of power."

"The girl had hoped for fog, but the gods ignored her prayers as gods so often did."

"Women were always the cruelest where other women were concerned."

"When you bugger a man you expect a squeal or two."

"Blood games were poor training for protecting kings."

"You kill men for the wrongs they have done, not the wrongs that they may do someday."

"Men may be fond of maidens, but women like a man who knows what he's about in the bedchamber."

"The eunuch had looked death in the face, so near he might have kissed her on the lips."

"“Men are mad and gods are madder,” she told the grass, and the grass murmured its agreement."

"Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up, she was shitting brown water. The more she drank the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew."

"That is how it is when a man grows as old as Pycelle. Everything see or hear reminds you of something yo saw or heard when you were younger."

"The time to speak of the cold is not when we are standing in it."

"A knight who remembered his vows."

"Any act can be a prayer, if done as well as we are able."

"In the name of the Warrior I charge you to be brave. In the name of the Father I charge you to be just. In the name of the Mother I charge you to defend the young and innocent. In the name of the Maid I charge you to protect all women..."

"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

"Winter is Coming."

"Fire and Blood"

"Hear Me Roar"

"Ours is the Fury"

"Family, Duty, Honor"

"We Do Not Sow"

"As High As Honor"

"Growing Strong"

"Unbowed. Unbent. Unbroken."

"Our Blades Are Sharp"

"Valar morghulis."

"Valar dohaeris."

"The cold winds are rising."

"The night is dark and full of terrors."

"In a coat of gold or a coat of red a lion still has claws. 'And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours."

"A Lannister always pays his debts."

"What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger."

"And now his watch has ended."

"I am so sorry."

"Words are wind."

"May the Father judge him justly."

"“We should start back,” Gared urged as the woods began to grow dark around them. “The wildlings are dead.”"

"The morning had dawned clear and cold, with a crispness that hinted at the end of summer."

"Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid?" "That is the only time a man can be brave."

"If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die."

"A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is."

"The words gave her a chill, as they always did. The Stark words. Every noble house had its words. Family mottoes, touchstones, prayers of sorts, they boasted of honor and glory, promised loyalty and truth, swore faith and courage. All but the Starks. Winter is coming, said the Stark words."
