Game of Thrones – Series Quotes [Season 1]

My brother once told me that nothing someone says before the word "but" really counts.

A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone.

A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of a sheep.

— He's Tyrion the Imp, of House Lannister. He killed your father. He murdered the Hand of the King!
— Oh, did I kill him too? I've been a very busy man.

What we don't know is usually what gets us killed.

Love comes in at the eyes.

Some doors close forever... others open in most unexpected places.

— The rumors of your demise were unfounded.
— Sorry to disappoint you.

— Your brother wouId never have submitted to capture so meekly.
— We have our differences, Jaime and I. He's braver. I'm better-looking.

Hear my words and bear witness to my vow. Night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Let me give you some advice, Bastard. Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour... and it can never be used to hurt you.

Brothels make a much better investment than ships, I've found. Whores rarely sink.

— I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards and broken things.

Halfman maybe, but at least I have the courage to face my enemies.
