Those are great, but these are the best lines in the books:

I love both passages, but for somewhat different reasons.

The Ned/Kingsguard lines have almost a poetry to them. They are just so well written and structured.

The Wyman Manderly lines are great mostly (for me) because of what the hint at, perhaps even promise, for the future.

thedudertr@gmail.com, would you be ever so kind?

Yeah, read that, and I had to laugh out loud when the interviewer said everyone but Dany sucks at ruling.

This is my favorite quote:

quote:

---

Men are still capable of great heroism. But I don't necessarily think there are heroes. That's something that's very much in my books: I believe in great characters. We're all capable of doing great things, and of doing bad things. We have the angels and the demons inside of us, and our lives are a succession of choices. Look at a figure like Woodrow Wilson, one of the most fascinating presidents in American history. He was despicable on racial issues. He was a Southern segregationist of the worst stripe, praising D.W. Griffith and The Birth of a Nation. He effectively was a Ku Klux Klan supporter. But in terms of foreign affairs, and the League of Nations, he had one of the great dreams of our time. The war to end all wars – we make fun of it now, but God, it was an idealistic dream. If he'd been able to achieve it, we'd be building statues of him a hundred feet high, and saying, "This was the greatest man in human history: This was the man who ended war." He was a racist who tried to end war. Now, does one cancel out the other? Well, they don't cancel out the other. You can't make him a hero or a villain. He was both. And we're all both.

Those last two sentences coincide with something I wrote a while back:

quote:

---

Are you a villain? Or are you a hero?

The question is rigged since we all possess a little of both; of good and bad, righteous and evil. And our lives are filled with some days that make us proud and other days that do not.

Wake up each day and decide to be a hero. Overcome that little seed of evil which resides in all of us and be proud of the day you lived - each and every day - when you lay your head down to sleep at night.

I have been blessed with knowing some very inspirational people who have taught me to fight for and appreciate every day on this Earth. To fight natural human instinct and the element of evil that tugs at our conscience to be a villain "just this once...only for a second."

This is not a religious post, though I could very easily turn it into one. It is just a reminder...the planting of a seed of good...to wear your cape of kindness in this world filled with so much hate and despair. To be a hero in your own daily lives and to fight your arse off for what you believe in for as long as you can.

Really annoyed me that the interviewer acted like Dany was the Messiah and that everyone else sucks. Looks like he had a meeting with David and Dan, the main Dany worshipper offenders.

It's a ridiculous notion. If we are ranking leadership skills she's just above Cat IMO
