Favorite Quotes from the books.

I must say Dune is one of my favorite books, but like many other works out there it seems you either love it or hate it.

Hedgeknight is still a geek!

I can say this becuase he is like a brother to me!!! uh and like me he can be a geek.
 
"To help me to my grave. I asked for you to leave. Will you make me call my gaolers and have you dragged away, you vile, scheming, evil bitch?"

I was like, "Hell Yeah! Tell er Margaery."
 
Right, it's DE time.

Jon had to stoop to pass through the low door. Within he found a packed dirt floor. There were no furnishings, no sign that people had lived here but for some ashes beneathe the smokehole in the roof. "What a dismall place to live," he said.
"I was born in a house much like this," declared Dolorous Edd. "Those were my enchanted years. Later i fell on hard times." A nest of dry straw bedding filled one corner of the room. Edd looked on it with longing. "I'd give all the gold in Cssterly Rock to sleep in a bed again."
"You'd call that a bed?"
"If it's softer than the ground and has a roof over it, i call it a bed."

----

The Lord commander had entrusted his mount to Dolorous Edd. He was cleaning mud from the horses hooves as Jon dismounted. "Lord Mormont's in the hall," he announced. "He said for you to join him. Best leave the wolf outside, he looks hungry enough to eat one of Craster's children,. Well, truth be told, I'm hungry enough to eat one of Craster's children, so long as he was served hot. Go on, I'll see to your horse. If it's warm and dry inside, dont tell me, I wasn't asked in." HE flicked a glob of wet mud out from under a horseshoe. "Does this mud look like **** to you? Could it be that this whole hill is amde of Craster's ****?"
Jon smiled. "Well, i hear he's been here a long time."
"You cheer me not. Go see the Old Bear."

----

If I lurk about after, not too clsoe to the fire, belike they'll take no note of me til morn. The ones under his roof will be the first he murders, but at least we'll die dry."

----

And those are just the first ones i found whilst glancing through ACOK's. Word for word, DE is the funniest guy in literature. :)
 
I love the quote in the new book AFFC when Jaime is talking to his Aunt Gena;

" You smile like Gerion and fight like Tyg, and there's some of Kevan in you, else you would not wear that cloak... but Tyrion is Tywin's son, not you. I said so once to your father's face, and he would not speak to me for half a year. Men are such thundering fools. Even the sort who come along once in a thousand years."
Sums it all up for me!!!
We know Tyrion is Smart, Brave and indeed Fun and to a Degree Honest and (was) Loyal..haahmmm, but being a Dwarf means SO much more..... You are always Overlooked!!!
 
the scene wear Cersei is hoisted on her petard by the head Sparrow..and the Kettleback confesses that she's the Queen that he gave a tumble and then just to put the icing on the cake volunteers that she had him off the head head Septon..priceless..:dwl:
 
OK..this is a CLASSIC!!!

Jamie to Ser Ryman


"Only a fool makes threats he's not prepared to carry out. If I were to threaten to hit you unless you shut your mouth, and you presumed to speak, what do you think I would do?

"Ser, you do not unders-"

Jamie hit him.

LMAO..can't believe the fool didn't see that coming:D
 
I just love the Quote from Meribald where he's talking about broken men.
"Ser? My Lady?" said Podrick. "Is a broken man an outlaw?"
"More or less," Brienne answered.
Septon Meribald disagreed. "More less than More. ...

The broken man lives lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them... but he should pity them as well."

This septon here is telling a damn true story, very nice done.

And very nicely done on Brienne's part when she asks the septon when he became a broken man. Shows some depth to her character and I always thought she was a very good character despite what others who have posted here think of her

I'll agree with that. That comment showed some intelligence on her part. Up until that point, I was wondering if Brienne may be a bit "dim." Not so, any more - she's definitely got some smarts, and will probably gain a lot more wisdom shortly (if she survives that long).

BTW - TK-421, why aren't you at your post? :)
 
I dont have my books with me....but during the scene where Jaime takes the Kingsguard in hand, he badgers Balon Swann with the "What would you do if your family was set on killing the king" line of questions....and Balon being an honorable knight...

"On my honor, I will not....do as you did..."

Still cracks me up...
 
"If I pulled the cord, I would rather find the scorpions than your sister in all her naked glory"

Just saying

There are still some great quotes out there. Someone can state the quote exactly, but when D.E. and Sam are at the fist in aSoS and all the bothers are starving, they burn one of the dead brothers on a funeral pyre and Sam gets sick because he can smell the meat cooking and he starts salivating. As he is wretching on the ground D.E. comes up and says something to the effect of:
never knew a brother could smell so appetizing, don't go and die on us Tarly because there would be more cracklin on you and I just love pork cracklin.

When I remember, if no one beats me to it, I will quote it exactly.

In aSoS there are great quotes in almost every chapter. It is such a great book.

*snow*
 
All right here it is:

Sam: "The smell...."

Edd: "Never knew Bannen could smell so good." Edd's tone was as morose as ever. "I had half a mind to carve a slice off him. If we had some applesauce, I might have done it. Pork's always best with applesauce, I find."
"You'd best not die, Sam, or I fear I might succumb. There's bound to be more crackling on you than Brannen ever had, and I never could resist a bit of crackling."
