"...without a ruler who knows the art of ruling. Make that the science of your tradition!”

She did not know what was more satisfying: the sound of a dozen swords drawn as one or the look on Tyrion Lannister’s face.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“I realized the Fates really were cruel... For the rest of my life I would be thinking about her. She would always be my biggest what if.”
