There has never been a slave who did not choose to be a slave. Their choice may be between bondage and death, but the choice is always there.

The stone is strong. Bran told himself, the roots of the trees go deep, and under the ground the Kings of Winter sit their thrones. So long as those remained, Winterfell remained. It was not dead, just broken. Like me, he thought. I'm not dead either.

Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.

When the end comes, I will meet it raging.

We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously.

Why should death make a man truthful, or even clever? The dead are likely dull fellows, full of tedious complaints - the ground's too cold, my gravestone should be larger, why does he get more worms than I do.

Faith is like porridge. Better with milk and honey.

Every man should lose a battle in his youth, so he does not lose a war when he is old.

He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp as the difference between right and wrong, between true and false, between life and death.

What do we say to the Lord of Death? Not today.
