Quotes by Eddard Stark

The man who passes the sentence, should swing the sword.

Cersei: "All you needed to do was climb the steps yourself. Such a sad mistake."
Ned: "I've made many mistakes in my life, but that wasn't one of them."

Robert: "I swear, if I weren't your king you would've hit me already."
Ned: "Worst thing about your coronation, I never get to hit you again."

Ned: "I don't fight in tournaments."
Jaime: "No? Getting a little old for it?"
Ned: "I don't fight in tournaments, because when I fight a man for real, I don't want him to know what I can do."

Jon: "Is my mother alive? Does she know about me? Where I am, where I'm going? Does she care?"
Ned: "The next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother."
