Can I dwell on what I scarce remember? I held a castle on the Marches once, and there was a woman I was pledged to marry, but I could not find that castle today, nor tell you the color of that woman's hair. Who knighted me, old friend? What were my favorite foods? It all fades. Sometimes I think I was born on the bloody grass in that grove of ash, with the taste of fire in my mouth and a hole in my chest. Are you my mother, Thoros? (GRRM, ASOS)

Genna: I am sorry for your loss. Jaime: I had a new hand made, of gold. Genna: Very nice. Will they make you a gold father too? Tywin was the loss I meant.

Jeyne Arryn, the Lady of the Eyrie, called the Maiden of the Vale ASOIAF as historical paintings (27/∞)

Thrice have mine own kin sought to replace me. My cousin Ser Arnold is wont to say that women are too soft to rule. I have him in one of my sky cells, if you would like to ask him. In this world of men, we women must band together. I have no fear of armies. Many and more have broken themselves against my Bloody Gate, and the Eyrie is known to be impregnable. But you have descended on us from the sky, as Queen Visenya once did during the Conquest, and I was powerless to halt you. I mislike feeling powerless. Send me dragonriders. [GRRM, Fire & Blood]
