Song Of Ice And Fire Quotes by George R. R. Martin and many others.
I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living sort in blood.
Fear cuts deeper than swords.
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man’s life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.
For the night is dark and full of terrors.
Love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same.
Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.
What’s dead may never die.
When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.
And any man who must say ‘I am king’ is no true king at all.
I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.
Swift as a deer. Quiet as a shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water.
A Lannister always pays his debts.
You could make a poultice out of mud to cool a fever. You could plant seeds in mud and grow a crop to feed your children. Mud would nourish you, where fire would only consume you, but fools and children and young girls would choose fire every time.
