my favorite lines from the book...
nothing burns like a cold
the only time a man can be brave is if he's afraid
some old wound never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word
sitting a throne is a thousand times harder than winning one
what the king dreams the Hand build
different roads sometimes lead to the same castle
a man could not always be where he belonged
every fight begins with a fall
it is one thing to be clever and another to be wise
all men carry murder in their hearts
poison is a coward's weapon
the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword
folly and desperation ate oftentimes hard to tell apart
you can't hammer tin into iron, no matter how hard you beat it, but that doesn't mean tin is useless
a true man does what he will, not what he must
the heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true
fear cuts deeper than swords
a man who won't listen can't hear
laughter is poison to fear
when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die
we are only human, and the Gods have fashioned us for love, that is our great glory, and our great tragedy
the hard truths are the ones to hold tight
when dead men come hunting in the night, do you think it matters who sits the iron throne?
