“So many vows... they make you swear and swear. Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It’s too much. No matter what you do, you’re forsaking one vow or the other.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

“It is helpful to know the proper way to behave, so one can decide whether or not to be proper.”

“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.”

― Gail Carriger, Soulless
