Hassan: Prophecies can't be undone, can they?

Jude: He thought that finally looking into the face of the Prophet would fill him with all the things he lacked. But those were the thoughts of a child. A child who had looked up at lights in the sky and thought that they were meant for him. He was a man grown now, and he knew the truth. His destiny was finally here, and it did not care whether or not he was ready for it.

And now the Final Prophecy of the Prophets will be revealed!

Anton: Most people, when they hurt you, they do it for a reason.

Jude: But there was no sixth name. There was only an empty place that Jude had kept open in the hope that he would one day fill it with the person who had been at his side from the start.

Faramir: Do not acorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart.

Gimli: Mortals cannot go drinking ent-draughts and expect no more to come of it than a pot of beer.

Tolkien: Never for long had hope died in his staunch heart, and always until now had he taken some thought for their return. But the bitter truth came home to him at last ... But even as hope died in Sam, or seemed to die, it was turned to a new strength.

Gandalf: Who knows that she spoke to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all her life seemed shrinking, and the walls of her bower closing in about her, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in.

Simenon: [Inspector Maigret] seemed to have gotten into his head to discover the truth. But what truth exactly? And if it ever was discovered, what, and who, would it be for?

Éowyn: I am of the House of Eorl, and I do not fear either pain or death.
Aragorn: What do you fear, lady?
Éowyn: A cage.

Aragorn: Many hopes will wither in this bitter spring.

"Anton was no stranger to the taste of desperation, how it trapped you in its claws and forced you to sacrifice even the things you thought you held dear ... he'd traded parts of himself -- dignity, virtue, a clear conscience ... -- to save the whole."

The Necromancer King sounds a lot like the Night King.

Anton POV again.

Jude: The Paladin's oath forbade them from having children, except for the Keeper of the Word, whose duty was to perform the Ritual of Sacred Union in order to produce an heir.
Me: I take it Jude Snow will be breaking his oath as soon as he heads out beyond the wall.

The Order of the Last Light seems to be the Night's Watch but with martial arts and magical reflexes instead of swords and black chain mail.

Aderin-Pocock: Even in the 21st Century, we are bombarded with cultural references that indicate that the full moon affects human behavior. But is there any evidence to support this?

Violet: Forgive me. Forgive me for making my life from the ruins of yours.

Violet: I want to rebel meaningfully, not unconsciously.
Miss Pesel: It is important for you to rebel, is it?
Violet: Yes.
