101 " It was never wise for a ruler to eschew the trappings of power, for power itself flows in no small measure from such trappings. "
― George R.R. Martin , A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire, #5)
102 " No Queen has clean hands. "
103 " A lord may love the men that he commands, but he cannot be a friend to them. One day he may need to sit in judgement on them, or send them forth to die. "
104 " Sometimes there is truth in dreams. "
105 " The Lord of Light in his wisdom made us male and female, two parts of a greater whole. In our joining there is power. Power to make life. Power to make light. Power to cast shadows. "
106 " Remember who you are, Daenerys, ... The dragons know. Do you? - Quaithe "
107 " The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer’s farce is almost done. My son is home. "
108 " Every battle is a gamble, Snow. The man who does nothing also takes a risk. "
109 " Men live their lives trapped in an eternal present, between the mists of memory and the sea of shadow that is all we know of the days to come. Certain moths live their whole lives in a day, yet to them that little span of time must seem as long as years and decades do to us. An oak may live three hundred years, a redwood tree three thousand. A weirwood will live forever if left undisturbed. To them seasons pass in the flutter of a moth's wing, and past, present, and future are one. "
110 " And Robb. Robb who had been more a brother to Theon than any son born of Balon Greyjoy's loins. Murdered at the Red Wedding, butchered by the Freys. I should have been with him. Where was I? I shold have died with him. "
111 " You cannot tame a dragon with a history lesson. "
112 " You will never walk again, Bran," the pale lips promised, "but you will fly. "
113 " Even the sky was grey. Grey and grey and greyer. The whole world grey, everywhere you look, everything grey except the eyes of the bride. The eyes of the bride were brown. Big and brown and full of fear. "
114 " All my memories are poisoned "
115 " Up in the hills we say that autumn kisses you, but winter fucks you hard. "
116 " By the time Jon Snow signed the parchment the Braavosi drew up, both of them were half-drunk and quite unhappy. Jon thought that a good sign. "
117 " A little brother may live to be a hundred, but he will always be a little brother. "
118 " Now I understand why King Stannis let the wildlings through the Wall. He means for us to eat them. "
119 " It is chivalry that makes a true knight, not a sword. "
120 " Words are wind, even words like love and peace. I put more trust in deeds. "
