Favourite GRRM quotes

[Young stormlord]

Egg might look elegant in the dead boy’s finery, but he would be a boiled Egg by nightfall.

Ser Dancan the Tall, the sworn sword.

I can second this. Dolorous Edd has so much character, and one of the greatest names in the world...Had to read it several times, to make certain I was really reading what I was reading, when first I read it.

Thats why in some way his comment when the wights attacked the camp was somewhat chilling and told of the fear of the attack

"Sam im having a horrible nightmare, please wake me up"

Normally he would come with some quib, some story, but not here, just plain fear, a great moment.

You forgot that Edd was holding the black banner of the Night Watch

Here is more quotes from the sworn sword:

“Nasty stuff, water,” Bennis said. “Drank some once, and it made me sick as a
dog. Wine’s better.”

“I might.” Better than you know. “I remember once some little lord in the
stormlands took Ser Arlan into service, to help him fight some other little
lord. When I asked the old man what they were fighting over, he said, ‘Nothing,
lad. It’s just some pissing contest.’ ”
Lady Rohanne gave him a shocked look, but could sustain it no more than half a
heartbeat before it turned into a grin. “I have heard a thousand empty
courtesies in my time, but you are the first knight who ever said pissing in my
presence.” Her freckled face went somber. “Those pissing contests are how lords
judge one another’s strength, and woe to any man who shows his weakness. A woman
must needs piss twice as hard, if she hopes to rule. "

Sweet Robin........."I want to see him fly"

Ser Daven............"You know why they call her gatehouse Ami? She raises her portcullis for every knight who hapens by"

The Prince of Dorne passing a cyvasse piece to Arianne......Your brother has gone to bring us back our hearts desire. Vengance, justice...Fire and Blood.

(Spoiler, I guess)

One quote which always struck me was Joffrey, in his final scene, when he orders Tyrion to serve as his cupbearer

Tyrion: I would be most honored.
Joffrey(screaming): It's not meant to be an honor!!!

That whole scene just had me itching for him to die. It's quite a powerful scene, the fact that his last moments of life were the ones in which he truly showed the ugliness of his character.

[Marvolo]

I've got to go with a quote from A Storm of Swords (which I am now reading).

Lord Tywin said:

"You ask that? You, who killed your mother to come into the world? You are an ill-made, devious, disobedient, spiteful little creature full of envy, lust, and low cunning. Men's laws give you the right to bear my name and display my colors, since I cannot prove that you are not mine. To teach me humility, the gods have condemned me to watch you waddle about wearing that proud lion that was my father's sigil and his father's before him. But neither gods nor men shall ever compel me to let you turn Casterly Rock into your whorehouse."

Lord Tywin went from being a static character to a dynamic one in one verbal beating. Man, I feel like I was put down for just reading it. That was brutal.

[Marvolo]

I found another. This one takes it I think.

"Well, you are a free man now, but if you will not have the girl, best find yourself a she-bear. If a man does not use his member it grows smaller and smaller until one day he wants to piss and cannot find it."

Wise words from Tormund the Giantsbabe.

In the marvellous negotiation between Lord Walder Frey and the Lady Catelyn, in A Game of Thrones.

Lord Walder snorted with disdain. "Lord Tywin the proud and splendid, Warden of the West, Hand of the King, oh, what a great man that one is, him and his gold this and gold that and lions here and lions there. I'll wager you, he eats too many beans, he breaks wind just like me, but you'll never hear him admit it, oh no. What's he got to be so puffed up about anyway? Only two sons, and one of them's a twisted little monster. I'll match him son for son, and I'll still have nineteen and a half left when all of his are dead!"

[Thessaly]

Just re-reading Feast, and Cersei comes out with the odd gem throughout her POV chapters:
"One good night, for one good knight," to Osney (I think) Kettleblack.
There are just so many awesome quotations, I wish there was a book of selected ASoIaF quotations and sayings (there isn't, is there?), I'd definitely buy it.
