Game of Thrones quotes often remind me of my favorite moments in the show. Whether they remind me of a great conversation between Varys and Littlefinger ("Chaos is a ladder"), how funny Tyrion can be ("I drink and I know things"), or Hodor… well, every scene with Hodor (“hodor!”). I am sure that most of the come from the books, or are inspired by the books, but seeing a character actually say it out loud, and seeing the situation they are in at that moment, that creates a greater impact on my mind. I must say that D. Benioff and D.B. Weiss did a great job in that sense. George R.R. Martin is a master character developer. When he lays down the foundation of a character, enriched with small details, and heavily influenced by past events in their lives, it is only natural that some drops of wisdom will naturally pour out of them and echo into eternity. Of course, among all those characters, everyone has their favorite. If we were all the same and good and fair, we would all love the same one character. But we are not the same. Thus, every character in the show has their own fans. Even Ramsey freaking BoltSnow! I may not be better, with my love for Lannisters, but I do not love them because they’re cruel, relentless, prone to incest, and all the rest you can pin them to. I love them because of their pragmatic outlook on the world. Because of their love for family. And because their wisdom is relevant today, probably even more than it is in the show itself! This is a collection of my favorite Game of Thrones quotes. They are mostly Lannister quotes, so it was natural to start the collection with their House words, both official and unofficial. "Hear Me Roar!" - House Lannister "Hear Me Roar!" - House Lannister I loved Tywin! The rest will probably end like him to (God save Tyrion!), most of the GoT characters end up that way eventually. "Valar morghulis. All men must die." Tywin did make one mistake in underestimating Tyrion and creating an enemy out of him, but for the most part of his life, he was a brilliant mastermind. His children took upon him, so they too have some witty sayings. "A lion does not concern himself with the opinion of sheep." - Tywin Lannister "A ruler who kills those devoted to her is not a ruler who inspires devotion." - Tyrion Lannister "By what right does the wolf judge the lion? By what right?" - Jaime Lannister "The gods have no mercy, that's why they're gods." - Cersei Lannister Let me know how you liked them in the comment section.
