“I pass over the spectacle of Poirot on a camel. He started by groans and lamentations and ended by shrieks, gesticulations and invocations to the Virgin Mary and every Saint in the calendar. In the end, he descended ignominiously and finished the journey on a diminutive donkey.”

“And for five long hours the little man sat motionless, blinking his eyelids like a cat, his green eyes flickering and becoming steadily greener and greener.”

“You are rich. You own. We are poor. We lack. You have. We do not have. Everything is beautiful here, only not the faces. On Anarres nothing is beautiful, nothing but the faces. The other faces. The men and women. We have nothing but that, nothing but each other. Here you see the jewels. There you see the eyes. And in the eyes you see the splendor, the splendor of the human spirit, because our men and women are free possessing nothing. They are free. And you, the possessors are possessed. You are all in jail, each alone, solitary with a heap of what he owns. You live in prison, die in prison. It is all I can see in your eyes, the wall, the wall.”

“Knights of the Seven Kingdoms!" Joffrey bellowed, and the
thousands bellowed back. He could see Samwell and
Robar leading the Silver Knights, riding out to form up around him.
He saw Lord Tarly and his lances leading the Reach, Tywin and the
lords of the West taking up his right. He saw Renly in his armor of
summer carrying the stag of the Stormlands, Edmure Tully and his
fishbones chanting out defiance. In the way of legends, the lords of
Westeros had gathered for one final charge. Even though it might
mean the death of them all, Joffrey could see that they were glad for
it. An ending fit for a song—one last charge for peace.”
