Death, there will be death, aye. Your lordship lost a son at the Red Wedding. I lost four upon the Blackwater. And why? Because the Lannisters stole the throne. Go to Kingโs Landing and look on Tommen with your own eyes, if you doubt me. A blind man could see it. What does Stannis offer you? Vengeance. Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for your murdered lord, your murdered king, your butchered princes. Vengeance!
George R. R. MartinWe read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang.
George R. R. MartinIn Kingโs Landing, there are two sorts of people. The players and the piecesโฆ Every manโs a piece to start with, and every maid as well. Even some who think they are players." Petyr Baelish
George R. R. MartinMy featherbed is deep and soft, and there Iโll lay you down, Iโll dress you all in yellow silk and on your head a crown. For you shall be my lady love, and I shall be your lord. Iโll always keep you warm and safe, and guard you with my sword. And how she smiled and how she laughed, the maiden of the tree. She spun away and said to him, no featherbed for me. Iโll wear a gown of golden leaves, and bind my hair with grass, But you can be my forest love, and me your forest lass.
George R. R. Martin
