One of your northmen hit me with a morningstar during the battle on the Green Fork. I escaped him by falling off my horse. (Tyrion)

Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all.

In the ring I can stay until I’m old and gray because I know how to hit and dance away
