CHAPTER ONE.
"Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what's on the other side?"
"My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind...and 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"
"Once you've accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you "
"I am not questioning your honor, I am denying its existence "
"My sister has mistaken me for a mushroom. She keeps me in the dark and feeds me shit"
"Noseless and Handless, the Lannister boys"
"All dwarfs may be bastards yet not all bastards are dwarfs"
"She never forgets a slight, real or imagined. She takes caution for cowardice and dissent for defiance. And she is greedy. Greedy for power, for honour, for love."
"The Gods give with one hand and take with the other"
"It was bitingly cold up here,and the wind pulled at his clothes like an insistent lover"
"A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth and you'll know the debt is paid"
"Oh, 'monster.' Perhaps you should speak to me more softly then. Monsters are dangerous, and just now, kings are dying like flies"
"Every touch a lie. I have paid her so much false coin that she half thinks she's rich"
"That's one way we differ, Jaime and I. He's taller as well, you may have noticed"
