“Laughter is poison to fear.” – Catelyn Stark
“For fifteen years I protected him from his enemies, but I could not protect him from his friends.“ – Eddard Stark
“There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.” – Varys

”…love is the bane of honor, the death of duty.” – Maester Aemon
“What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms…or the memory of a brother’s smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.“ – Maester Aemon
“When soldiers lack discipline, the fault lies with their lord commander.” – Tywin Lannister
