The_Red_Viper Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 "No." -High Septon in AFFC As I just finished re-reading the book, this was probably one of the more important lines, as it pretty much was the defining moment when Cersei realized she had lost control. All of her mistakes came down to one word, and sentenced her to her fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogertheshrubber Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Given Mr. Martin's past relationship with Disney, I'm going to assume he's seen The Lion King. Not sure about this, but isn't the "That is the only time a man can be brave" line pretty much the same thing Mufasa tells Simba? great movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigTEA Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 When the cold wind blows the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. Ned said that to Arya I think..and I don't have the book with me so I am paraphrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSP Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I don't have the books with me, but the most meaningful line to me, and I believe one of GRRM's only lessons or agendas in the series is the line where Jorah says something to the effect that when the nobles play their game of thrones, the smallfolk just pray they get left alone but that they never are.

Mongoose Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I don't know that I'd call it especially deep, but I've always loved Cersei's line: "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die." In this story, it's so very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerdudej Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I always liked this one from Varys. "The High Septon once told me that as we sin, so do we suffer. If that's true, Lord Eddard, tell me . . . why is it always the innocents who suffer most, when you high lords play your game of thrones?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zparanoid Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I think a lot of what Tyrion says would fall into this category. After all, GRRM did say Tyrion is a lot like him (minus the height difference). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other favourite (previously mentioned) is this one from Eddard: "The blood of the first men still flows in the veins of the Starks, and we hold to the belief that the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die."

Sandor's_Mandy1 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Not the 'deepest' line, but it sums up the character who says it pretty well... "A knight's a sword with a horse. The rest, the vows and the sacred oils and the lady's favors, they're silk ribbons tied round the sword. Maybe the sword's prettier with ribbons hanging off it, but it will kill you just as dead. Well, bugger your ribbons, and shove your swords up your arses. I'm the same as you. The only difference is, I don't lie about what I am. So kill me, but don't call me a murderer while you stand there telling each other that your shit don't stink. [i]You hear me[/i]?" ~Sandor Clegane to the Brotherhood Without Banners under the Hollow Hill before his trial by combat with Beric Dondarrion. Storm of Swords, page 387, American Edition.
