I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile?                        Faith. Not in any gods, not in myths and legends.                                        In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen.

It takes courage to say g o o d b y e. To stare at a thing lost and know it is gone f o r e v e r. Some tears are iron forged.

James?

I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count

You’ve really come out of your shell, you know? Huh? 

Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

No, no, no, we’re going together.
