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.

Love comes in at the eyes.

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.

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