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

"Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities."
"Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?''That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him."
"The things we love destroy us every time, lad. Remember that."
"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)"
"Fear cuts deeper than swords."
