The war is not over. And I promise you, friend, the true enemy won't wait out the storm. He brings the storm.
My name is Arya Stark. I want you to know that. The last thing you're ever going to see is a Stark smiling down at you as you die.
The only people who aren't afraid of failure are madmen.
Tyrion Lannister, I name you Hand of the Queen.
Daenerys Targaryen: I can't bring a lover to Westeros.Daario Naharis: A king wouldn't think twice about it.Daenerys Targaryen: So that's what you want? To be my mistress?Daario Naharis: I'm not proud. I don't care what perfumed aristocrat sits beside you in the throne room. I don't want a crown. I want you.
Ellaria Sand: It is not survival I offer. It is your heart's desire.Olenna Tyrell: And what is my heart's desire?Ellaria Sand: Vengeance. Justice.Lord Varys: Fire and blood.
Sansa Stark: Jon. A raven came from the Citadel. A white raven. Winter is here.Jon Snow: Well, Father always promised, didn't he?
Jon Snow: You told me Lord Baelish sold you to the Boltons.Sansa Stark: He did.Jon Snow: And you trust him?Sansa Stark: Only a fool would trust Littlefinger.
Jon Snow: I'm having the lord's chamber prepared for you.Sansa Stark: Mother and Father's room? You should take it.Jon Snow: I'm not a Stark.Sansa Stark: You are to me.
Walder Frey: Here we are now, two kingslayers. We know what it's like to have them grovel to our faces and snigger behind our backs. We don't mind, do we? Fear is a marvelous thing.Jaime Lannister: They don't fear the Freys, though. They fear the Lannisters. We gave you the Riverlands to hold the Riverlands. If we have to ride north and take them back for you every time you lose them, why do we need you?
The purpose of fighting is defeating your enemies, isn't it? I've defeated mine. Riverrun belonged to House Tully for a thousand years. Now it's mine. What do you call that? Victory.
Walder Frey: This came together rather well. Your father would be pleased.Jaime Lannister: I'm sure he would be.Walder Frey: Edmure is back in a cell. Can't go killing my son by law. It wouldn't be right. Give the family a bad name.
Even confessing feels good under the right circumstances.
I do things because they feel good. I drink because it feels good. I killed my husband because it felt good to be rid of him. I fuck my brother because it feels good to feel him inside me. I lie about fucking my brother because it feels good to keep our son safe from hateful hypocrites. I killed your High Sparrow and all his little sparrows, all his septons, all his septas, all his filthy soldiers, because it felt good to watch them burn.
Sometimes before we can usher in the new, the old must be put to rest.
Ramsay Snow: Our time together is about to come to an end. That's all right. You can't kill me. I'm part of you now.Sansa Stark: Your words will disappear. Your house will disappear. Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear.
Everyone who makes a joke about a dwarf's height thinks he's the only person ever to make a joke about a dwarf's height.
Jon Snow: My lady. You weren't at the war council.Melisandre: I'm not a soldier.Jon Snow: Any advice?Melisandre: Don't lose.Jon Snow: If I do, if I fall... don't bring me back.
You're going to die tomorrow, Lord Bolton. Sleep well.
Sansa Stark: If Ramsay wins, I'm not going back there alive. Do you understand me?Jon Snow: I won't ever let him touch you again. I'll protect you, I promise.Sansa Stark: No one can protect me. No one can protect anyone.
Ramsay Snow: There's no need for a battle. Get off your horse and kneel. I'm a man of mercy.Jon Snow: You're right. There's no need for a battle. Thousands of men don't need to die. Only one of us. Let's end this the old way. You against me.
It always seems a bit abstract, doesn't it, other people dying?
Yezzan zo Qaggaz: The terms are simple. You and your foreign friends will abandon the Great Pyramid and the city of Meereen. The Unsullied you stole from Kraznys mo Nakloz will remain to be sold again to the highest bidder. The translator you stole from Kraznys mo Nakloz will remain to be sold again to the highest bidder. The dragons beneath the Great Pyramid will be slaughtered.Daenerys Targaryen: We obviously didn't communicate clearly. We're here to discuss your surrender, not mine.Razdal mo Eraz: I imagine it's difficult adjusting to the new reality. Your reign is over.Daenerys Targaryen: My reign has just begun.
No ruler that ever lived had the support of all the people.
Thoros of Myr: Clegane, we're here for a reason. The Lord of Light is keeping Beric alive for a reason. He gave a failed, drunk priest the power to bring him back for a reason. We are part of something larger than ourselves.Sandor Clegane: Lots of horrible shit in this world gets done for something larger than ourselves.
Jaqen H'ghar: Finally a girl is no one.Arya Stark: A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell and I'm going home.
Thoros of Myr: We're not butchers. We hang them.Sandor Clegane: Hanging? All over in an instant. Where's the punishment in that?Thoros of Myr: They die.Sandor Clegane: We all bloody die. Except this one here.
Drop that arrow, you bloody girl. Tougher girls than you have tried to kill me.
Edmure Tully: You didn't come here to talk about our sisters.Jaime Lannister: That's exactly why I came here. I love Cersei. You can laugh at that if you want. You can sneer. Doesn't matter. She needs me. And to get back to her, I have to take Riverrun. I'll send for your baby boy. And I'll launch him into Riverrun with a catapult. Because you don't matter to me, Lord Edmure. Your son doesn't matter to me. The people in the castle don't matter to me. Only Cersei. And if I have to slaughter every Tully who ever lived to get back to her, that's what I'll do.
Not everybody wants to die for someone else's home.
Lancel Lannister: Order your man to step aside or there will be violence.Cersei Lannister: I choose violence.
Lord Varys: I'll walk the rest of the way myself. I can't go off on a secret mission in the company of the most famous dwarf in the city.Tyrion Lannister: The most famous dwarf in the world.
famous dwarf in the city.
Lord Varys: If you shaved your beard with a straight razor, you'd say the razor worked. That doesn't mean it won't cut your throat.Tyrion Lannister: Spoken like a man who has never had to shave.
F*ck you!Sandor Clegane: Those are your last words, f*ck you? Come on, you can do better.C*nt!Sandor Clegane: You're sh*t at dying, you know that?
Brother Ray: Violence is a disease. You don't cure a disease by spreading it to more people.Sandor Clegane: You don't cure it by dying, either.
Never too late to stop robbing people, to stop killing people. Start helping people.
Listen to me. If you're so broken that there's no coming back, take a knife and cut your wrists. End it. But if you're staying, Theon, I need you. We're gonna sail to Meereen. We're gonna make a pact with this Dragon Queen. And we're gonna take back the Iron Islands.
Jaime Lannister: The war is over, ser. Why sacrifice living men to a lost cause?Brynden Tully: As long as I'm standing, the war is not over. This is my home. I was born in this castle and I'm ready to die in it. So you can either attack or try to starve us out. We have enough provisions for two years. Do you have two years, Kingslayer?
Bargaining with oathbreakers is like building on quicksand.
The real war isn't between a few squabbling houses. It's between the living and the dead. And make no mistake, my lady, the dead are coming.
Jaime Lannister: Get word to the Blackfish. I want a parley. Bronn: A parley or a fight?Jaime Lannister: He's an old man.Bronn: You've got one hand. My money's on the old boy.
Only a fool makes threats he's not prepared to carry out.
Bronn: You promised me a lordship and a castle and a highborn beauty for a wife. Jaime Lannister: And you'll get all three. A Lannister always... Bronn: Don't say it. Don't f*cking say it.
Jaime Lannister: You have better instincts than any officer in the Lannister army.
Bronn: That's like saying I have a bigger c*ck than anyone in the Unsullied army.
Bronn: Someone needs to teach those sad twats how to dig trenches.Jaime Lannister: Someone certainly does.Bronn: Oh, no. Not me. I'm just an upjumped sellsword.Jaime Lannister: You're an anointed knight. There's quite a difference.Bronn: Aye, knights don't get paid.
Cersei Lannister: I'll never leave my son.Olenna Tyrell: What'll you do, then? You have no support. Not anymore. Your brother's gone. The High Sparrow saw to that. The rest of your family have abandoned you. The people despise you. You're surrounded by enemies, thousands of them. You're going to kill them all by yourself? You've lost, Cersei. It's the only joy I can find in all this misery.
Cersei Lannister: I delivered an army of fanatics onto our doorstep. And now we must fight them together. We need each other.Olenna Tyrell: I wonder if you're the worst person I've ever met. At a certain age, it's hard to recall. But the truly vile do stand out through the years.
Jon Snow: Are you sure they'll come?Tormund Giantsbane: We're not clever like you southerners. When we say we'll do something, we do it.
The crows killed him because he spoke for the free folk when no other southerners would. He died for us. If we are not willing to do the same for him, we're cowards. And if that's what we are, we deserve to be the last of the free folk.
Margaery Tyrell: Sometimes the true path is hard to find.High Sparrow: Hard to find and harder still to walk upon.
Congress does not require desire on the woman's part, only patience.
The poor disgust us because they are us, shorn of our illusions. They show us what we'd looklike without our fine clothes. How'd we smell without perfume.
There's plenty of pious sons of bitches who think they know the word of god or gods. I don't. I don't even know their real names. Maybe it is the Seven. Or maybe it's the old gods. Or maybe it's the Lord of Light. Or maybe they're all the same fucking thing. I don't know. What matters, I believe, is that there's something greater than us. And whatever it is, it's got plans for Sandor Clegane.
