i can't understand her" well son, you might as well try to understand the sun". derived form the book:fires of heaven by robert jordan.

When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while.

The nobles and the noble Houses maneuver for advantage. They do things they think will help them, or hurt and enemy, or both. Usually, it's all done in secrecy, or if not, they try to make it seem as if they're doing something other than what they are.

May Your Swords Stay Sharp!" - Lan Pendragon

hope is like a piece of string when you’re drowning; it just isn’t enough to get you out by itself.

I will hate the man you choose because he is not me, and love him if he makes you smile. No woman deserves the sure knowledge of widow’s black as her brideprice, you least of all.

The fact that the price must be paid is proof it is worth paying.
