“As in the autumn-time the leaves fall off, First one and then another, till the branch Surrenders all its spoils to the earth;   In similar fashion did these evil seeds of Adam throw Themselves from the group, one by one, into the boat At Charon's signal, as a bird is called to its lure.”
― Dante Alighieri, Inferno

“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
― Mark Twain

“Ser Jaime?" Even in soiled pink satin and torn lace, Brienne looked more like a man in a gown than a proper woman."I am grateful, but...you were well away. Why come back?"

― George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords
