“Por que lê tanto ? (...)
- Olhe-me e diga o que vê.
O rapaz olhou-o com suspeita
- Isto é algum truque ? Vejo você. Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion suspirou.
- Você é notavelmente gentil para um bastardo, Snow. O que vê é um anão. Você tem o que ? Doze anos ?
- Catorze - disse o rapaz.
- Catorze, e é mais alto que alguma vez serei. Minhas pernas são curtas e tortas, e caminho com dificuldade. Necessito de uma sela especial para não cair do cavalo. Uma cela de minha própria concepção, talvez te interesse saber. Era isso ou montar um pônei. Meus braços são suficientemente fortes mas, uma vez mais, demasiado curtos. Nunca serei um espadachim. Se tivesse nascido camponês, provavelmente me teriam me expulsado para que morresse, ou vendido para a coleção de aberrações de algum negociante de escravos. Mas, ai de mim ! Nasci um Lannister de Rochedo Casterly, e as coleções de aberrações são das mais pobres. Esperam-se coisas de mim. Meu pai foi mão do rei durante vinte anos. Aconteceu que, mais tarde, meu irmão matou esse mesmo rei, mas minha vida está cheia dessas pequenas ironias. Minha irmã casou-se com o novo rei e o meu repugnante sobrinho será rei depois dele. Devo cumprir minha parte pela honra da minha casa, não concorda ? Mas como ? Bem, poderei ter as pernas pequenas demais para o corpo, mas minha cabeça é grande demais, embora eu prefira pensar que tem o tamanho certo para minha mente. Possuo um entendimento realista das minha forças e fraquezas. A mente é minha arma. Meu irmão tem a sua espada, O Rei Robert, o seu martelo de guerra, e eu tenho a minha mente... e uma mente necessita de livros da mesma forma que uma espada necessita de uma pedra de amolar se quisermos que se mantenha afiada - Tyrion deu uma palmada na capa de coura do livro - É por isso que leio tanto, Jon Snow.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“Lord Petyr,” Ned called after him. “I … am grateful for your help. Perhaps I was wrong to distrust you.” Littlefinger fingered his small pointed beard. “You are slow to learn, Lord Eddard. Distrusting me was the wisest thing you’ve done since you climbed down off your horse.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“That won’t do any good, the crow said. I told you, the answer is flying, not crying. How hard can it be? I’m doing it. The crow took to the air and flapped around Bran’s hand.

Maybe you do too.
Bran felt along his shoulders, groping for feathers.
There are different kinds of wings, the crow said.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Todos os anões serão bastardos, mas nem todos os bastardos precisam ser anões -(…) e, só por um momento, Tyrion Lannister ergueu-se alto como um rei.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“That night, after the lates had been cleared, Robb carried Bran up to bed himself. Grey Wind led the way, and Summer came close behind. His brother was strong for his age, and Bran was as light as a bundle of rags, but the stairs were steep and dark, and Robb was breathing hard by the time they reached the top.

He put Bran into bed, covered him with blankets, and blew out the candle. For a time Robb sat beside him in the dark. Bran wanted to talk to him, but he did not know what to say. "We'll find a horse for you, I promise," Robb whispered at last.

"Are they ever coming back?" Bran asked him.

"Yes," Robb said with such hope in his voice that Bran knew he was hearing his brother and not just Robb the Lord. "Mother will be home soon. Maybe we can ride out to meet her when she comes. Wouldn't that surprise her, to see you ahorse?" Even in the dark room, Bran could feel his brother's smile. "And afterward, we'll ride north to see the Wall. We won't even tell Jon we're coming, we'll just be there one day, you and me. It will be an adventure."

"An adventure," Bran repeated wistfully. He heard his brother sob. The room was so dark he could not see the tears on Robb's face, so he reached out and found his hand. Their fingers twined together.”
