Game of Thrones – Series Quotes [Season 1]

— If your gods are real and if they are just... why is the world so full of injustice?
— Because of men like you.
— There are no men like me. Only me.

You must make that choice yourself... and live with it for the rest of your days. As I have.

We're all human. Oh, we aII do our duty when there's no cost to it. Honor comes easy then. Yet... sooner or later... in every man's life there comes a day when it is not easy. A day when he must choose.

What is honor... compared to a woman's love? And what is duty... against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? Or a brother's smile?

Love is the death of duty.

You grew up with actors. You learned their craft and you learnt it well. But I grew up with soldiers. I learned how to die a long time ago.

Cersei is no fool. She knows a tame wolf is more use to her than a dead one.

— Ah, the chiIdren. lt's aIways the innocents who suffer. It wasn't the wine that killed Robert, nor the boar. The wine sIowed him down and the boar ripped him open, but it was your mercy
that kiIIed the king.

Watching is not seeing, dead girl. The seeing, the true seeing, that is the heart of swordplay.

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.

We only make peace with our enemies, my lord. That's why it's called "making peace".

— What you suggest is treason.
— Only if we lose.
