More quotes by George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

"A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor. Yet soon or late in every man's life comes a day when it is not easy, a day when he must choose. (Maester Aemon)"
"Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities."
"Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word."
"Winter is coming."
"Laughter is poison to fear."
