George R.R. Martin

"Fat men take a cushion with them wherever they go."

"Never drink with Dornishmen when the moon is full."

"I am the sword in the darkness."

"Give me honorable enemies rather than ambitious ones, and I'll sleep more easily by night."

"We'll never find that one, and I'll be blamed,' announced Edd Tollett, the dour grey-haired squire everyone called Dolorous Edd. 'Nothing ever goes missing that they don't look at me, ever since that time I lost my horse. As if that could be helped. He was white and it was snowing, what did they expected."

"Are you certain they never cut your member off?' Tormund gave a shrug, as if to say he would never understand such madness. 'Well, you are a free man now, but if you will have the girl, best find yourself a she-bear. If a man does not use his member it grows smaller and smaller, until one day he wants to piss and cannot find it."

"Laughter is poison to fear."

"Curiosity is my great vice. I fear you have seen through to the heart of me, and now seek to exploit my weakness."

"Even a hedge knight has his honor."

"A great battle is a terrible thing,' the old knight said, 'but in the midst of blood and carnage, there is sometimes also beauty, beauty that could break your heart."

"A hound will die for you, but never lie to you."

"It's not,' Mormont told him. 'Gods save us, boy, you're not blind and you're not stupid. When dead men come hunting in the night, do you think it matters who sits the Iron Throne?"
