Game of Thrones

Know your strengths, use them wisely, and one man can be worth 10,000.

A toast. To the proud Lannister children. The dwarf, the cripple, and the mother of madness.

It's hard to put a leash on a dog once you've put a crown on its head.

— You want to fuck that Stark girl. You just don't want to admit it.
— I don't pay you to put eνil notions in my head. The ones already there don't need company.
— You pay me to kill people who bother you. Eνil notions come free.

— Lord BaeIish, perhaps I was wrong to distrust you.
— Distrusting me was the wisest thing you've done since you climbed off your horse.

Money buys a man's silence for a time. A bolt in the heart buys it forever.

— Father, I wish to confess.
— You wish to confess?
— I saved you. I saved this city and all your worthless lives. I should have let Stannis kill you all.
— Tyrion. Do you wish to confess?
— Yes, Father. I'm guilty. Is that what you want to hear?
— You admit you poisoned the king?
— No, of that I'm innocent. I'm guilty of a far more monstrous crime. I am guilty of being a dwarf.
— You are not on trial for being a dwarf.
— Oh, yes, I am. I've been on trial for that my entire life.
— Have you nothing to say in your defence?
— Nothing but this... I did not do it. I did not kill Joffrey, but I wish that I had. Watching your vicious bastard die gave me more relief than 1,000 lying whores. I wish I was the monster you think I am. I wish I had enough poison for the whole pack of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it.
— Ser Meryn. Escort the prisoner back to his cell.
— I will not give my life for Joffrey's murder. And I know I'll get no justice here. So I will let the gods decide my fate. I demand a trial by combat.

— What killed him?
— Loyalty.

Hear my words and bear witness to my vow. Night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

It's easy to confuse what is with what ought to be, especially when what is has worked out in your favor.

Let me give you some advice, Bastard. Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour... and it can never be used to hurt you.

If you find something you're not supposed to, best thing to do is pretend you've never seen it.

Brothels make a much better investment than ships, I've found. Whores rarely sink.

Sometimes, when I try to understand a person's motives, I play a little game. I assume the worst. What's the worst reason they could possibly have for saying what they say and doing what they do? Then I ask myself, "How well does that reason explain what they say and what they do?"

You're νery kind. Someday it'll get you killed.
