2 " Egg has the truth of it. Aerion's quite the monster. He thinks he’s a dragon in human form, you know. That’s why he was so wroth at that puppet show. A pity he wasn't born a Fossoway, then he’d think himself an apple and we’d all be a deal safer, but there you are. "
3 " Why?” he asked Pate. “What am I to them?”“A knight who remembered his vows,” the smith said. "
4 " But the old man, Set Arlan, everyday at evenfall he'd say, 'I wonder what the morrow will bring.' He never knew, no more than we do. "
― George R.R. Martin , The Hedge Knight (The Tales of Dunk and Egg, #1)
5 " A hedge knight is the truest kind of knight, Dunk. Other knights serve the lords who keep them, or from whom they hold their lands, but we serve where we will, for men whose causes we believe in. Every knight swears to protect the weak and innocent, but we keep the vow the best, I think. "
6 " You laid hands upon the blood of the dragon and for that offense, you must be punished. "
