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.

Contempt, thought Tyrion, the universal tongue.

Great wrongs have been done you, but the past is dust. The future may yet be won.

A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor. Yet soon or late in every man's life comes a day when it is not easy, a day when he must choose. (Maester Aemon)

Even in dreams, you could not fall forever.

Tears aren't a woman's only weapon.

There are no happy endings.
