George R. R. Martin quotes
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say. 
When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. 
The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow. 
Once you've accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you. 
People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up. 
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword... a ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is. 
A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That's why I read so much Jon Snow.

A bruise is a lesson... and each lesson makes us better.
A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.
Life is not a song, sweetling. Someday you may learn that, to your sorrow.
A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.
I swear to you, sitting a throne is a thousand times harder than winning one.
I crossed a thousand leagues to come to you, and lost the best part of me along the way. Don't tell me to leave.
Kill the boy, Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy and let the man be born.
