ASOIAF Elimination Game XXXV: Best quotes in ASOS (besides those by Vargo Hoat)


Myrish Swamp Thing

Recommended Posts

Yes, but that doesn't mean we have to like the sub-plot. I read ASOIAF because I find the politics and the human characters exceptionally interesting. The idea that they may all just be wiped out by three dragons and a rabble of zombies makes me quite angry. I really hope that quote is not true. I rather hope that, in reality, the greatest enemy facing these characters in Westeros is each other. Because man fighting man is always more interesting than man fighting zombie.

As one might expect, the trained writer says it better than I can :)

Yes, but that doesn't mean we have to like the sub-plot. I read ASOIAF because I find the politics and the human characters exceptionally interesting. The idea that they may all just be wiped out by three dragons and a rabble of zombies makes me quite angry. I really hope that quote is not true. I rather hope that, in reality, the greatest enemy facing these characters in Westeros is each other. Because man fighting man is always more interesting than man fighting zombie.

Plus, your Stannis fanaticism is making me :bang: right now.

At this stage to dismiss them as 'zombies' after it's been demonstrated they have memories and can even talk and interact with normal folk is kind of silly. Anyway, to sum up: The Others are an integral part of the story and I like Stannis. I think it might be a slight overreaction to smash your head against the wall (atleast that's what your emoticons is leading me to believe you're doing...)

What is it about my comments that lead you to believe I'm anything but calm? That's like if I were having a conversation with someone and I told them that I respectfully disagree with their position for the following reasons and then someone comes over and says "Whoah, guys you need to chill out before somebody gets hurt".

Sorry, I will shut up after this...

Are you telling me an Other has just as much of a fully fleshed personality as characters such as Jaime, Arya, Sansa, Tyrion... even Stannis?

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just pointing out that they have the capacity to interact with normal characters and can remember shit. That's pretty far away from being a zombie.

Forgive me, my knowledge of zombies isn't all that advanced, but I presumed they were 'undead' people with only a shadow of human understanding and very little compassion/goodness.

I started reading asoiaf because a friend told me that GRRM had based some of it on the War of the Roses, which is one of my favourite periods of British History. It was a brutal civil war between two Great Houses, with many lesser Houses involved. As a historian, that is what pulled me in. The Others (and Dany's dragons for that matter) are only on the 'fringe' of this storyline... what I consider to be the main storyline. That is why I care little for it.

(See, I told you my reason was academic, hehe)

Others, wrights... same difference :-p

No...there is a big differences between wights and the Others. And they are the enemy that Westeros should fear.

It's not a difference that GRRM has defined in memorable terms, or has drilled home the significance of. I do like how the reason Westeros do not fear wights and Others is because they have moved away from 'supernatural' to 'manmade' threats in their life. This shows that the characters are relying more on rational thought and science over grumkins. Tyrion, my second favourite character, is the very embodiment of this. He is the Humanist, the one who knows that a man's mind can be as powerful as his sword and that there is a different type of glory to be sought from discovering the truth and the rational.

Then GRRM goes and destroys all this beauty by making dragons and Others and wights real.

For Jay and me:

1) “This is Stannis Baratheon. The man will fight to the bitter end and then some.” 10 (+)

2) “I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne.” 6

3) “Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought bravely. And Rhaegar died.” 4

4) “I’ve lost a hand, a father, a son, a sister, and a lover, and soon enough I will lose a brother. And yet they keep telling me House Lannister won this war.”4

5) “Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.” 5

6) “A bag of dragons buys a man's silence for a while, but a well-placed quarrel buys it forever.” 4

7) “My skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.” 7

8) “No, don't, don't cut my hair, Ned loves my hair.” 10

10) ”You raped her! You murdered her! You killed her children! If you die before you say her name, ser, I will hunt you through all seven hells.” 10

11) "Is there gold hidden in the village?" she shouted as she drove the blade up through his back. "Is there silver? Gems?" She stabbed twice more. "Is there food? Where is Lord Beric?" She was on top of him by then, still stabbing. "Where did he go? How many men were with him? How many knights? How many bowmen? How many, how many, how many, how many, how many, how many? is there gold in the village?" 7

13) “Sorcery is a sword without a hilt. There is no safe way to grasp it. “ 4

14) “Thee'th not to be touched! Thee hath to be a maid, you foolth! Thee'th worth a bag of thapphireth! … Jaime? Why did you shout out? / Why did I shout out 'sapphires,' you mean? Use your wits, wench. Would this lot have cared if I shouted 'rape'? / You did not need to shout at all. / You're hard enough to look at with a nose. Besides, I wanted to make the goat say, 'thapphireth’.” 9

15) “Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that. “ 4 (-)

16) "Do you know who I am?/ Some dead man." 3 (-)

18) “You poor stupid blind crippled fool. Must I spell every little thing out for you? Very well. Cersei is a lying whore, she's been fucking Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack, and probably Moonboy for all I know. And I am the monster they all say I am. Yes, I killed your vile son.” 7

19) "We will defend the wall to the last man!" "Probably me." 8 (+)

20) “Demons made of snow and ice and cold... The ancient enemy. The only enemy that matters. “ 1

24) “Explain to me why it is more noble to kill ten thousand men in battle than a dozen at dinner.” 3

25) "I have made kings and unmade them. Sansa Stark is my last chance for honor." 10

27) "Have you nothing to say in your defense?"

"Nothing but this: I did not do it. Yet now I wish I had. I wish I had enough poison for you all. You make me sorry I am not the monster you would have me be, yet there it is. I am innocent, but I will get no justice here. You leave me no choice but to appeal to the gods. I demand trial by battle" 10

28) “King Jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air, and the world holds its breath to see how it will land." 5
