— It means you're not stupid.
— Three victories don't make you a conqueror.

The charwomen scrubbing the floors, yours to protect. The soldiers you order into battle. He told me he woke with fear in the morning and went to bed with fear in the night. I didn't believe him. I asked him, "How can a man be brave if he's afraid?" "That is the only time a man can be brave," he told me.

— Treason? Sansa wrote this?
— It is your sister's hand, but the queen's words. You are summoned to King's Landing to swear fealty to the new king.

— This is a royal command, my lord. If you should refuse to obey. . .

— All of them, my lord? They've all sworn to defend my father, have they not?
— They have.
— Now we see what their words are worth.
