Citas con George R. R. Martin y A Storm of Swords

¡Pues qué hubo putos!... así es. Adiós al tono solemne. De todos modos esto nada más lo leen tres personas (máximo y exagerándolo). Al que no leen nada más tres gentes es a George R. R. Martin y su tercer libro (de la serie que ya todos conocen, pa' qué se las recuerdo) A Storm of Swords. Ameno el libro. Por ahí dicen que el cuarto y el quinto no son tan buenos, pero eso no lo sabré hasta no leerlos. Por lo mientras les dejo unas citas que saqué del libro. Disfrútenlas:

• To pay for his one sweet moment, they took his whole life.
• -You promised him vengeance as well.
  -I promised him justice.
  -Call it what you will. It still comes down to blood.
• What use are wealthy friends if they will not put their wealth at your disposal.
• All the laws are not helping when all the ships burn up.
• I just need to rest, that’s all, to rest and sleep some, and maybe to die a little.
• Any act can be a prayer, if done as well as we are able.
• In times like these, it is better to be insignificant.
• Even the bravest men fear death and maiming.
• A man cannot sup from the beggar’s bowl all his life and stay a man.
• Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably and Rhaegar died.
• There is a tool for every task, and a task for every tool.
• Dying’s no excuse for lying down no more.
• One king means peace.
• He’d have t’ be quick and cunning and brave t’ steal me. So his sons would be strong and smart as well. Why would I hate such a man as that?
• I will fall into those eyes and drown.
• He would be no one’s cousin, no one’s enemy, no one’s sworn sword… in sum, no one.
• No one was told, save those who had a part to play. And they were told as much as they needed to know.
• A man may have wits or a bit of meat between his legs, but not both? ... Perhaps I should be grateful I was cut, then.
• Always keep your foes confused if they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you.
• She was only some girl who ran with a dog by day, and dreamed of wolves by night.
• Half truths are worth more than outright lies.
• Whatever you do, make certain you hands are clean.
• The living has no place at the feasts of the dead.
• What good is a king who will not defend his realm?
• I arrived here a King’s Hand, riding through the gates at the head of my own sworn men (…) and I leave like a rat scuttling through the dark, holding hands with a spider.
•  “I have always wanted it”, he thought, guiltily. “May the gods forgive me”.
• Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold.
