- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come. #Jon
- Watching is not seeing. The seeing, the true seeing, that is the heart of it. #Syrio #Arya
- Opening your eyes is all that is needing. The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true. Look with your eyes. Hear with your ears. Taste with your mouth. Smell with your nose. Feel with your skin.Then comes the thinking, afterward, and in that way knowing the truth. #Syrio #Arya
- The things we love destroy us every time. #Mormont #Jon

- Love is the bane of honor, the death of duty. #Aemon #Jon
- We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy. #Aemon #Jon
- A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor. Yet soon or late in every man’s life comes a day when it is not easy, a day when he must choose. #Aemon #Jon
