It was a hollow victory they gave me. A crown...it was the girl I prayed them for. Your sister, safe... and mine again as she was meant to be. I ask you, Ned, what good is it to wear a crown?

Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.

Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

Fear cuts deeper than swords.

Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word.

I swear to you, sitting a throne is a thousand times harder than winning one.

A bruise is a lesson... and each lesson makes us better.

Laughter is poison to fear.

You can get into a place in your life where you no longer are in control of events, and events are in control of you.
