"In the game of thrones, even the humblest pieces can have wills of their own. Sometimes they refuse to make the moves you've planned for them."

I feel like this sums up the fact that in this book...no one can mind their own business.

"Some liars blink. Some stare. Some look away. Some lick their lips. Many cover their mouths just before they tell a lie, as if to hide their deceit. Other signs may be more subtle, but they are always there."

An interesting observation. But I like it.

"Women bring life into the world. We bring the gift of death. No one can do both.”

Haha...oh sweet innocent man.

"All men lie when they are afraid. Some tell many lies, some but a few. Some have only one great lie they tell so often that they almost come to believe it … though some small part of them will always know that it is still a lie, and that will show upon their faces."

If there's one thing this author does well, it's write meaningful passages.

"She had fallen into a dream, some terrible red nightmare. This cannot be real. I will wake soon, and laugh at my night terrors."

Oh, don't we all wish for the same thing? It would be nice, wouldn't it?

It's a shame when our nightmares become reality.

"Ser Arys Oakheart gave her one last longing look, then put his golden spurs into his horse and charged."

Gah. Why do the good ones have to be both brave and stupid?

"Ser Arys was pleasant company abed, but wit and he were strangers."

I guess at that point you have to decide what's more important to your relationship...but wit is a big one for me.

Being tossed back into their story threw me off...but I think I'm remembering what's going on. I think.

“I’m sorry that I never trusted you. I don’t know how to do that anymore.”

It's difficult to trust once you've been a little lost a time or two. And when there's been a few too many betrayals. That said...there are a few that come along and you suddenly wish you were able to trust them...at least a little bit.
