Who would think such a thing?

i apologize if it took me so long to get back here...my bad!
Guess who thought/say this...one of my fave lines. :)


"a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. the man who never reads lives only one."
 
Can it be Jojen? as it's a thought rather than a word.
Obviously I've just realised that now!
 
I just checked. It was SAID by Jojen. I suggest that Rufio just go ahead and post a new one, rather than make this more complicated than it needs to be :)
 
Well I'm glad I wasn't imagining things. It is a superb line, anyway.


Better a flimsy shield than none
 
Uhhh, if we're moving into female characters - Cersei?
It is indeed Cersei. Well done Katrina.

This is the whole passage:
Soft, bald, and obsequious, Swyft had an absurd little white puff of beard where most men had a chin. The blue bantam rooster of his House was worked across the front of his plush yellow doublet in beads of lapis. Over that he wore a mantle of blue velvet decorated with a hundred golden hands. Ser Harys had been thrilled by his appointment, too dim to realize that he was more hostage than Hand. His daughter was her uncle’s wife, and Kevan loved his chinless lady, flat-chested and chicken-legged as she was. So long as she had Ser Harys in hand, Kevan Lannister must needs think twice about opposing her. To be sure, a good-father is not the ideal hostage, but better a flimsy shield than none.
