My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones.

Lord Snow wants to take my place now.’ He sneered. ‘I’d have an easier time teaching a wolf to juggle than you will training this aurochs.’ ‘I’ll take that wager, Ser Alliser’, Jon said. ‘I’d love to see Ghost juggle (George R R Martin Quotes)
Kill the boy, Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy and let the man be born (George R R Martin Quotes)
