Tyrion Lannister Quotes

Quoted in:

A Dance with Dragons

A Storm of Swords

...

Actor:

No one is very happy. Which means it's a good compromise, I suppose.

— You'd think being tormented from birth would have given you some affinity for the afflicted.
— On the contrary. Laughing at another person's misery was the only thing that made me feel like everyone else.
— The joke wore thin, though.

— It's good luck to rub a dwarf's head.
— It's even better luck to suck a dwarf's cock.

— Love is more powerful than reason. We all know that. Look at my brother.
— "Love is the death of duty."
— You just came up with that?
— Maester Aemon said it a long time ago.
— Sometimes duty is the death of love.

— You freed your brother. You committed treason.
— I freed my brother. And you slaughtered a city.

— We're discussing treason.
— Don't pretend you haven't thought about it.
— Of course I've thought about it. Thoughts aren't treason.

— Well... The basic principle is, I lend you money, and after an agreed upon period of time, you return it with interest.
— What if I don't?
— Well, you have to.
— But what if I don't?
— This is why I don't lend you money.

I don't think a cock is a true qualification.

— How many others know?
— Including us? Eight.
— Well, then it's not a secret anymore. It's information. If a handful of people know now, hundreds will know soon.

— Our queen respects the wisdom of age.
— Of course she does. Respect is how the young keep us at a distance, so we don't remind them of an unpleasant truth.
— What is that?
— Nothing lasts.

And I trust the eyes of an honest man more than I trust what everybody knows.

— Do you know how to use that?
— I chopped wood once. No, I watched my brother chopping wood.
— I saw you kill a man with a shield. You'll be unstoppable with an ax.

— You already drank yourself across the Narrow Sea.
— In a box. Why stop now?
— Because we are talking about the future of our country.
— The future is shit.
— Just like the past.

— They attacked me!
— They threw a cow pie at you, so you decided to kill them all? They're starving, you fool. All because of a war you started.
— You're talking to a king!
— And now l've struck a king. Did my hand fall from my wrist?

— I don't like threats.
— Who threatened you?
— I'm not Ned Stark. I understand the way this game is played.
— Ned Stark was a man of honor.
— And I am not. Threaten me again and I'll have you thrown into the sea.
