ASoIaF Elimination Game 34: Best quotes in ACoK


Leviathan I

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the 34th edition of the Elimination Game, "Best quotes in A Clash of Kings"!

This round consists only of quotes from A Clash of Kings. We will vote until we have a final 5. Once we have the top 5 quotes from each book we will do a final round consisting of the top 5 from each book and pick an overall best quote of the series.

We have already done A Game of Thrones (EG 32) and the top 5 quotes were:

1) Can a man still be brave if he's afraid? / That is the only time a man can be brave.

2) There is no creature on earth half so terrifying as a truly just man.

3) What do we say to the God of Death? / Not today.

4) Or maybe he'll give me yours.

5) Oh, my sweet summer child, what do you know of fear? Fear is for the winter, when the snows fall a hundred feet deep and the ice wind comes howling out of the north. Fear is for the long night, when the sun hides its face for years at a time, and little children are born and live and die all in darkness while the direwolves grow gaunt and hungry, and the white walkers move through the woods.

A brief review of the mechanics and rules:

In each round, you are allowed to "heal" one option and "hurt" another. For example

Valar Morghulis. 5

There are no men like me. There’s only me. 5

Heal Valar Morghulis

Hurt There are no men like me

There are no men like me. There’s only me. 4 -

Valar Morghulis 6. +

The rules:

1. Every battle starts with 5 HP (healing points).

2. You can only vote once every 10 attack posts (9 between your first and last) OR once every two hours.

3. A cap of 25 HP will be imposed upon the last 5 deaths standing. Once this cap is in effect, you can choose to hurt one option without healing another, as long as at least one of the remaining choices is at the 25 point maximum.

4. If you spot any errors during the game, please correct them and include where you saw the error happen.

5. The game starts with 150 HP total and should stay that way until the last 5 deaths standing.

6. Please note who you're healing/hurting with +/- signs.

The list:

1) People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up.

2) Those are brave men. Let's go kill them.

3) They'll kill for that knighthood, but don't ever think they'll die for it.

4) The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.

5) I have never liked you, Cersei, but you were my own sister, so I never did you harm. You've ended that. I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.

6) Valar Morghulis.

7) I am a direwolf, and done with wooden teeth.

8) That man said he’d take your head too / if he can get it off my shoulders, he’s welcome to it.

9) If I could pray with my cock, I would be much more religious.

10) Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it’s always summer in the songs. In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.

11) There are no men like me. There’s only me.

12) Mind your tongue. You are not in Winterfell now, and I am not Robb the Boy, that you should speak to me so. I am the Greyjoy, Lord Reaper of Pyke, King of Salt and Rock, Son of the Sea Wind, and no man gives me a crown. I pay the iron price. I will take my crown, as Urron Redhand did five thousand years ago.

13) Power resides where men believe it resides. No more no less. / So power is a mummer's trick? / A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.

14) That’s no law, just a sword. Happens I got one too.

15) Robert could piss in a cup and men would call it wine, but I offer them cold clear water and they squint in suspicion and mutter to each other about how queer it tastes.

16) He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire.

17) I seldom fling children from towers to improve their health. Yes, I meant for him to die.

18) What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger.

19) She has the blood of the wolf! / And you have the wits of a goose.

20) If you need help bark like a dog / That's stupid. If I need help I'll shout help.

21) Courage and folly are cousins, or so I've heard.

22) The night is dark and full of terrors.

23) There are worse ways to die than warm and drunk. I knew a brother drowned himself in wine once. It was a poor vintage, though, and his corpse did not improve it. / You drank the wine? / It’s an awful thing to find a brother dead. You’d have need of a drink as well, Lord Snow.

24) A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.

25) A brigand, a barber, a beggar, two orphans, and a boy whore. With such do we defend the realms of men.

26) There's no shame in fear...what matters is how we face it.

27) Woman? Is that meant to insult me? I would return the slap, if I took you for a man.

28) Tears are not a woman's only weapon. You've got another one between your legs, and you'd best learn to use it. You'll find men use their swords freely enough. Both kinds of swords.

29) When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.

30) We look at mountains and call them eternal, and they seem... but in the course of time, mountains rise and fall, rivers change their courses, starts fall from the sky, and great cities sink beneath the sea. Even gods die, we think. Everything changes.

2) Those are brave men. Let's go kill them. 5

3) They'll kill for that knighthood, but don't ever think they'll die for it. 5

4) The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow. 5

5) I have never liked you, Cersei, but you were my own sister, so I never did you harm. You've ended that. I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid. +6

6) Valar Morghulis. 6

7) I am a direwolf, and done with wooden teeth. 5

8) That man said he’d take your head too / if he can get it off my shoulders, he’s welcome to it. 5

9) If I could pray with my cock, I would be much more religious. 5

10) Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it’s always summer in the songs. In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining. 5

11) There are no men like me. There’s only me. 4

12) Who you lie with is no matter to me...although it doesn't seem quite just that you should open your legs for one brother and not the other. 5

13) Power resides where men believe it resides. No more no less. / So power is a mummer's trick? / A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow. 6

14) That’s no law, just a sword. Happens I got one too. 5

15) Robert could piss in a cup and men would call it wine, but I offer them cold clear water and they squint in suspicion and mutter to each other about how queer it tastes. 2

16) He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire. 5

17) I seldom fling children from towers to improve their health. Yes, I meant for him to die. 6

18) What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger. -5

19) She has the blood of the wolf! / And you have the wits of a goose. 5

20) If you need help bark like a dog / That's stupid. If I need help I'll shout help. 5

21) Courage and folly are cousins, or so I've heard. 5

22) The night is dark and full of terrors. 5

23) There are worse ways to die than warm and drunk. I knew a brother drowned himself in wine once. It was a poor vintage, though, and his corpse did not improve it. / You drank the wine? / It’s an awful thing to find a brother dead. You’d have need of a drink as well, Lord Snow. 5

24) A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward. 5

25) A brigand, a barber, a beggar, two orphans, and a boy whore. With such do we defend the realms of men. 5

26) There's no shame in fear...what matters is how we face it. 5

27) Woman? Is that meant to insult me? I would return the slap, if I took you for a man. 5

28) Tears are not a woman's only weapon. You've got another one between your legs, and you'd best learn to use it. You'll find men use their swords freely enough. Both kinds of swords. 5

29) When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say. 5

30) We look at mountains and call them eternal, and they seem... but in the course of time, mountains rise and fall, rivers change their courses, starts fall from the sky, and great cities sink beneath the sea. Even gods die, we think. Everything changes. 5

I thought we had agreed to have this quote on the list (at least it was on the last list that I saw).

His father laid a stinging backhand across his cheek. “Mind your tongue. You are not in Winterfell now, and I am not Robb the Boy, that you should speak to me so. I am the Greyjoy, Lord Reaper of Pyke, King of Salt and Rock, Son of the Sea Wind, and no man gives me a crown. I pay the iron price. I will take my crown, as Urron Redhand did five thousand years ago.”
