I held a castle on the Marches once, and there was a woman I was pledged to marry, but I could not find that castle today, nor tell you the color of that woman's hair. Who knighted me, old friend?

Are you my mother, Thoros?”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Let him sleep on.”

“A gun safety instructor once told me that if you pull the trigger you’re going to create a hole somewhere. So, in the choices that we make in life we would be wise to consider the fact that we’re going to create a hole. And therefore we might want to consider where that hole should be and where it shouldn’t. But maybe the most significant thing that we need to consider is that most triggers never need to be pulled.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Roger Zelazny
“One night when we were in a graveyard recently an old watchdog came by... and we talked for a time.
"Hi. I'm a watchdog."
"Me, too."
"I've been watching you."
"And I've been watching you."
"Why is your person digging a hole?"
"There are some things down there that he needs."
"Oh. I don't think he's supposed to be doing that."
"May I see your teeth?"
"Yes. Here. May I see yours?"
"Of course."
"Perhaps it's all right. Do you think you might leave a large bone somewhere nearby?"
"I believe that could be arranged."
"Are you the ones that were by here last month?"
"No, that was the competition. We were shopping elsewhere."
"They didn't have a watchdog."
"Bad planning. What did you do?"
"Barked a lot. They got nervous and left."
"Good. Then we're still probably ahead.”
Roger Zelazny, A Night in the Lonesome October
