soon-enough magic nine
A woman's life is nine parts mess to one part magic, you'll learn that soon enough...and the parts that look like magic turn out to be the messiest of all.
brother laughter moisture
She remembered the godswood, drooping branches heavy with moisture, and the sound of her brother’s laughter as he chased her through piles of damp leaves.
flower garden air
Catelyn had never liked this godswood. She had been born a Tully, at Riverrun far to the south, on the Red Fork of the Trident. The godswood there was a garden, bright and airy, where tall redwoods spread dappled shadows across tinkling streams, birds sang from hidden nests, and the air was spicy with the scent of flowers.
boys mad world
It's a fool boy who mocks a giant, and a mad world when a cripple has to defend him.
sweet taken boys
Littlefinger looked like a boy who had just taken a furtive bite from a honeycomb. He was TRYING to watch for bees, but the honey was so sweet.
death thrones finals
Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.
strong kings winter
The stone is strong. Bran told himself, the roots of the trees go deep, and under the ground the Kings of Winter sit their thrones. So long as those remained, Winterfell remained. It was not dead, just broken. Like me, he thought. I'm not dead either.
children hush please
The maester smiled...Hush now, child, I'm much older than you. I can....die as I please.
hurt men
When a man was hurt you took him to the maester, but what could you do when your maester was hurt?
choices abandoned friendless
If I die, I die friendless and abandoned. What choice did that leave him, but to live?
mother men tears
Tears, she said scornfully to Sansa as the woman was led from the hall. The woman's weapon, my lady mother used to call them. The man's weapon is a sword. And that tells us all you need to know, doesn't it?
children towers chains
His chains chinked softly. I seldom fling children from towers to improve their health. Yes, I meant for him to die.
dream heart secret
Will holding a secret in your heart make it any less true? If you never tell, never speak of it, will it become only a dream, less than a dream, a nightmare half-remembered? Oh, if only the gods would be so good. (Catelyn)
thinking knighthood dies
They'll kill for that knighthood, but don't ever think they'll die for it.
