Jaime Lannister: This isn't about noble houses. This is about the living and the dead.Cersei Lannister: And I intend to stay amongst the living.
Tyrion Lannister: It's easy to confuse what is with what ought to be, especially when what is has worked out in your favor.Hizdahr zo Loraq: I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about the necessary conditions for greatness.Daenerys Targaryen: That is greatness?Hizdahr zo Loraq: That is a vital part of the great city of Meereen, which existed long before you or I and will remain standing long after we have returned to the dirt.Tyrion Lannister: My father would have liked you.
Robert Baratheon: Yes, its been a long time. But I still remember every face. You remember your first?Barristan Selmy: Of course, Your Grace.Robert Baratheon: Who was it?Barristan Selmy: A Tyroshi. Never learned the name.Robert Baratheon: Hmm. How did you do it?Barristan Selmy: Lance through the heart.Robert Baratheon: Quick one. Lucky for you. Mine was some Tarly boy at the Battle of Summerhall. My horse took an arrow so I was on foot, slogging through the mud. He came running at me, the dumb high-born lad, thinking he could end the rebellion with a single swing of his sword. I knocked him down with the hammer. Gods, I was strong then. Caved in his breastplate. Probably shattered every rib he had. Stood over him, hammer in the air. Right before I brought it down he shouted, "Wait! Wait".Robert Baratheon: They never tell you how they all shit themselves. They don't put that part in the songs. Stupid boy. Now the Tarly's bend the knee like everyone else. He could have lingered on the edge of the battle with the smart boys, and today his wife would be making him miserable, his sons would be ingrates, and he'd be waking three times in the night to piss into a bowl.
Cersei Lannister: You're just a soldier, aren't you? You take your orders and you carry on. I suppose it makes sense. Your older brother was trained to lead, and you were trained to follow.Eddard Stark: I was also trained to kill my enemies, Your Grace.Cersei Lannister: As was I.
