Sacrifice is never easy or it is no true sacrifice. - Stannis

First rule, stick them with the pointy end!

I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by, the way Viserys said they smiled for my father. (Daenerys)

There is magic in my universe, but it's pretty low magic compared to other fantasies.

Minds are like swords, I do fear. The old ones go to rust.

And what lesson can we draw from Volantene history? If you want to conquer the world, you best have dragons.

You lie. Worse, you lie poorly.
