And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

All that Syrio Forel had taught her went racing through her head. Swift as a deer. Quiet as a shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. The man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords.

The G-Men won a couple of nail biters, including a victory over the Packers in London that was as shocking to me as it must have been to Aaron Rodgers. I had almost forgotten how good it feels to win.

As it happens, HBO and I have our own animated projects, set in the world of A Song Of Ice & Fire. None of them have been greenlit yet, but I think we are getting close to taking the next step with a couple of them.

George R. R. Martin - December 2023

Our supposed rivalry with Rings of Power mostly exists in the media. Nothing would please me more than to see both shows succeed. I am a fantasy fan, and I want more fantasy on television, and nothing would accomplish that more than a couple of big hits.

I am anticipating House of the Dragon pretty eagerly myself, for what it's worth. Okay, I am hardly objective. And I know a lot of what you will be seeing. I, um, wrote the book.

The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams.

George R. R. Martin

I dreamt for so long. My flesh was dull gold... and my blood, rotted. Corpse after corpse, left in my wake. As I awaited... his return. Heed my words. I am Malenia. Blade of Miquella. And I have never known defeat.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella in Elden Ring

Make of thyselves that which ye desire. Be it a Lord. Be it a God. But should ye fail to become aught at all, ye will be forsaken. Amounting only to sacrifices.

Foul tarnished, in search of the Elden Ring. Emboldened by the flame of ambition. Someone must extinguish thy flame.

Margit the Fell Omen in Elden Ring

Graceless Tarnished. What is thy business with these thrones? Godrick the Golden. The twin prodigies, Miquella and Malenia. General Radahn. Praetor Rykard. Luncar Princess Ranni. Wilful traitors, all. Thy kind are all of a piece. Pillagers. Emboldened by the flame of ambition. Have it writ upon thy meagre grave: Felled by King Morgott! Last of all kings.

Omen King Morgott in Elden Ring

Now cometh the age of the stars. A thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the moon. Here beginneth the chill night that ecompasses all, reaching the great beyond. Into fear, doubt, and loneliness. As the path stretcheth into darkness.

You... have inherited the frenzied flame. A pity. You are no longer fit. Our journey together ends here. And remember... should you rise as the Lord of Chaos, I will kill you, as sure as night follows day. Such is my duty, for allowing you the strength of runes. Goodbye, my companion. Goodbye, Torrent. I will seek you, as far as you may travel. To deliver you what is yours. Destined Death.

Elden Ring - Elden Lord Ending

It's been a long while, Morgott. Long and hard didst thou fight. Spurned by the grace of gold. Be assured, the Elden Ring resteth close at hand. Alas, I am returned. To be granted audience once more. Upon my name as Godfrey, the first Elden Lord! That will be all. Thou didst me good service, Serosh. I've given thee courtesy enough. Now I fight as Hoarah Loux!

Godfrey, The First Elden Lord in Elden Ring

I shall remember thee, Tarnished. Smould'ring with thy meagre flame. Cower in fear of the night. The hands of the Fell Omen shall brook thee no quarter.

Nicholas Sparks in The Notebook

Falling in love

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Hope is like a shard of glass. Tread on it, and you'll end up wincing with every step. The best policy is to tweezer it out. Sure, it will hurt like billy-o and the wound will take a while to heal, but after that you can walk again.
