George R. R. Martin
Some gave me soft words and some blunt, some made excuses, some promises, some only lied. In the end words are just wind.
George R. R. Martin
You mistake patience for forbearance.
George R. R. Martin
You wear your honor like a suit of armor... You think it keeps you safe, but all it does is weigh you down and make it hard for you to move.
George R. R. Martin
The white horse and the black one wheeled like lovers at a harvest dance, the riders throwing steel in place of kisses.
George R. R. Martin
An admiral without ships, a hand without fingers, in service of a king without a throne. Is this a knight who comes before us, or the answer to a child's riddle?
George R. R. Martin
These old knights are more cunning than you think, or they would never have lived to see their first grey hair.
George R. R. Martin
One of your northmen hit me with a morningstar during the battle on the Green Fork. I escaped him by falling off my horse. (Tyrion)
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
For men, the answer was always the same and never farther away than the nearest sword. For a woman, a mother, the way was stonier and harder to know.
