Petyr Baelish

Everybody dies sooner or later. Don't worry about your death. Worry about your life. Take charge of your life for as long as it lasts.

— When you imagine yourself up there, how do you look? Does the crown fit? Do all the lords and ladies simper and bow, the ones who sneered at you for years?
— It's hard for them to simper and bow without heads.
— A man with great ambition and no morals — I wouldn't bet against you.

Look around you. We're all liars here. And every one of us is better than you.

— Sansa, I beg you. I loved your mother since the time I was a boy.
— And yet you betrayed her.
— I loved you. More than anyone.
— And yet you betrayed me.

If you want to build a better home, first you must demolish the old one.

Every ambitious move is a gamble.

Some lucky boys just born with a talent for violence.

— Gold wins wars, not soldiers.
— Then how come Robert is king and not Tywin Lannister?

All desires are valid to a man with a full purse.

— Every time I'm faced with a decision, I close my eyes and see the same picture. Whenever I consider an action, I ask myself will this action help to make this picture a reality? Pull it out of my mind and into the world? And I only act if the answer is yes. A picture of me on the Iron Throne and you by my side.
— It's a pretty picture.

— It is flattering, really... you feeling such dread at the prospect of me getting what I want.
— Thwarting you has never been my primary ambition, I promise you. Although who doesn't like to see their friends fail now and then?
