George R. R. Martin
His sister liked to think of herself as Lord Tywin with teats, but she was wrong. Their father had been as relentless and implacable as a glacier, where Cercei was all wildfire, especially when thwarted.
George R. R. Martin
Power is a trick. It lies where we believe it lies.
George R. R. Martin
What the King dreams, the Hand builds.
