The only game. The game of thrones.

The Red God takes what is his, lovely girl. And only death may pay for life. You saved me and the two I was with. You stole three deaths from the Red God. We have to give them back. Speak three names and the man will do the rest. Three lives I will give you - no more, no less, and we're done.

Jon: Have you seen the wall? | Sam: I'm fat, not blind.

There are no men like me. There's only me

There are a lot of people out there who will write books, in which everything turns out nicely and the bad guys lose, the good guys win, the boy gets the girl and they live happily ever after. There's a million books like that and if that's the comfort you're looking for, you should read those books and not my books because that's not the kind of book that I am interested in.

Of course it’s not enough to be a good man to be an effective ruler and it never has been.

Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same.
