You are an honest and honorable man...Ofttimes I forget that. I have met so few of them in my life.
George R. R. Martin
Men will always underestimate you, he said, and their pride will make them want to vanquish you quickly, lest it be said that a woman tried them sorely. Let them spend their strength in furious attacks, whilst you conserve your own. Wait and watch, girl, wait and watch.
