“When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.—A Clash of Kings”

“I have never liked you, Cersei, but you were my own sister, so I never did you harm. You’ve ended that. I will hurt you for this. I don’t know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think you are safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you’ll know the debt is paid.—A Clash of Kings”
― George R.R. Martin, The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister

“Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what’s on the other side?—A Game of Thrones”
― George R.R. Martin, The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister

“It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“Die Westerse samelewing het so verwyderd geraak van die geestelike sfeer dat hulle die dood beskou as die ergste ding wat die mens kan tref, maar laat ek jou nou sê, Rosa, daar’s veel erger dinge as die dood: eensaamheid, uitsigloosheid, verguising, verwerping, verwaarlosing, ’n lewe sonder liefde …” Hy het gesug. “Die dood is ’n wegkomkans van hierdie sinloosheid, en ’n poort tot ’n nuwe, betekenisvolle bestaan.”
― Gerda Taljaard, Die laksman se dogter
