George R. R. Martin Throne Quotations

I know who's going to be on the throne [in the Gameof Thrones], at the end, so I better not say. But, there will be a few people sitting on it, before the end.

In the game of thrones, even the humblest pieces can have wills of their own. Sometimes they refuse to make the moves you've planned for them.

All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes

A Lannister always pays his debts.

All dwarfs may be bastards yet not all bastards are dwarfs.

Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.

Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next.

It is being common-born that is dangerous, when the great lords play their game of thrones.

Tears aren't a woman's only weapon.

For the night is dark and full of terrors.

All my life men like you've sneered at me, and all my life I've been knocking men like you into the dust.

Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.

The only game. The game of thrones.

Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used against you

I swear to you, sitting a throne is a thousand times harder than winning one.

The things we love destroy us every time, lad. Remember that.

A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.

A man who won't listen can't hear.

Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.

Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.
