“I have some devotional books you can look over. Learn to quote from them. Nothing discourages unwanted questions as much as a flow of pious bleating.

(Petyr Baelish to Sansa Stark)”
― George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords 2: Blood and Gold

“But away from home, even the sturdiest men become vulnerable: beaten animals with lifeless expressions, their eyes full of extinguished stars. Far from their houses, they all become frightened children, and the only thing that could console them was the success of their venture.”
― Romain Puértolas, L'Extraordinaire Voyage du fakir qui était resté coincé dans une armoire Ikea

“I lack nothing, I tell you!”

“Nothing?” I asked. “Not even heaven?”

He lowered his head and was silent. But after a moment:

“Heaven is too high for me. The earth is good, exceptionally good–and near me!”

“Nothing is nearer to us than heaven. The earth is beneath our feet and we tread upon it, but heaven is within us.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis

“Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you. Remember that, Sansa, when you come to play the game.”

“What . . . what game?”

“The only game. The game of thrones.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords
