"You ask that? You who killed your mother to come into the world? You are an ill-made, devious, disobedient, spiteful little creature full of envy, lust, and low cunning. Men's laws give you the right to bear my name and display my colors, since I cannot prove that you are not mine. To teach me humility, the gods have condemned me to watch you waddle about wearing that proud lion that was my father's sigil and his father's before him. But neither gods nor men shall ever compel me to let you turn Casterly Rock into your whorehouse." (aSoS, pg65)

Just some quick fodder for the Tyrion is a Targaryean theory. I'm sure it's been discussed, but I don't remember seeing this quote in the thread. I don't really buy into it, but figured I'd add it.

It's a viable theory IMO but I'm hoping it does't come to pass. I think it is more poignant if Tyrion really IS Tywin's son and Tywyin's big mistake (I have a theory that all those who are killed have one big "mistake" or character trait that leads to their downfall) was not nurturing Tyrion's considerable talents.

I think he just said that because he was ashamed of having an imp for a son and wanted to deny that such a person could have come from his loins.
