"I sit on the damn iron seat when I must. Does that mean I don't have the hungers as other men? A bit of wine now and again, a girl squealing in bed, the feel of a horse between my legs? Seven hells, Ned, I want to hit someone."

Robert Baratheon

Re: Favorite Quotes from the books.

"It would seem that Lord Tywin did not share his plans with our regent, I can't imagine why. Still there 'tis no use hectoring Her Grace. She is quite right, you must write Lord Leyton before Garth boards a ship. You know the sea will sicken him and make his farting worse." Lady Olenna gave Cersei a toothless smile. " Your council chambers will smell sweeter with Lord Gyles, though I daresay the coughing would drive me to distraction. We all adore dear old uncle Garth, but the man is flatulent, that cannot be gainsaid. I do abhore foul smells." Her wrinkled face wrinkled up even more. " I caught a whiff of something unpleasant in the holy sept, in truth. Mayhaps you smelled it to?"
"No" Cersei said coldly, " A scent, you say?"
"More like a stink."

Thats kind of a long one but you got to like the Queen of Thornes.

Re: Favorite Quotes from the books.

Another one

"A knight's a sword with a horse. The rest, the vows and the sacred oild and the ladys favors, they're silk ribbons tied round the sword. Maybe the sword's prettier with the ribbons hanging off it, but it will kill you just as dead. Well, bugger your ribbons, and shove your swords up your arses. I'm the same as you . The only difference is, I don't lie about what I am. So kill me, but don't call me a murderer while you stand there telling each other that your **** don't stink. You hear me!"..................Sandor Clegane "The Hound"

Re: Favorite Quotes from the books.

Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it’s always summer in the songs. In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining. - Brienne, in A Clash of Kings.

Also always loved "Promise me, Ned"

Re: Favorite Quotes from the books.

"My queen, all you say is true. But Rhaegar lost on the trident. He lost the battle, he lost the war, he lost the kingdom, and he lost his life. His blood swirled downriver with the rubies from his breastplate, and Robert the Usurper rode over his corpse to steal the Iron Throne. Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died."..........Ser Jorah Mormont

A few more quicker ones that I like.

"Our knees don't bend so easily" .........Arthur Dayne to Ned Stark at the Tower of Joy

"Ser?, My lady? " ............Pod

Re: Favorite Quotes from the books.

My absolute favourite is Tyrion saying to Jaime (when Tyrion escapes the prison) something like this: "What would I say if they find me? No im a different dwarf with a hideous facial scar?

Spoilers from AFFC:
My favourite scene in the Feast for Crows is definately the part where Jaime threatens Edmure Tully. "I'll leave you to enjoy your food. Singer, play for our guest whilst he eats. You know the song, I trust."
"The One about the rain? Aye, my lord. I know it".

Im starting to think that Martin made the song "Rains of Castamere" just because of that scene. That's just so brilliant.

Re: Favorite Quotes from the books.

"When the wildlings knocked him off the Bridge of Skulls, somehow he landed in a nice deep pool of water. How lucky was that, missing all those rocks?"

"Was it a long fall? Did landing in the pool of water save his life?"

"No.
He was dead already, from that axe in his head. Still, it was pretty lucky, missing all those rocks.

~Dolorous Edd.
