18 DEEPEST LIFE QUOTES FROM THE GAME OF THRONES

  • Fear cuts deeper than swords.”
  • Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.
  • “Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”
  • “A man who won’t listen can’t hear.”
  • “Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.”
  • “The man who fears losing has already lost.”
  • “Power resides only where men believe it resides. […] A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.”

  • “A woman’s life is nine parts mess to one part magic, you’ll learn that soon enough…and the parts that look like magic turn out to be the messiest of all.”
  • “A bruise is a lesson… and each lesson makes us better.”
“Nella nostra stanza facciamo entrare solo chi ha il diritto di vederci scoperti, senza difese, persino nudi. […] È una soglia invalicabile tra il mondo degli adulti, che vorrebbe imporre il suo ordine e le sue forme, e il caos informe dei vestiti sparsi ovunque, mescolati a libri di scuola, spartiti musicali e reliquie provenienti da chissà quali altri universi. Ma è anche la frontiera tra interiore e esteriore, tra quello che si vede di noi oltre a quella porta e quello che siamo veramente a tu per tu con noi stessi; tra “mondo”, cioè ciò che sembra puro, ordinato, regolato, e “immondo”, caos al quale non si riesce a dare un ordine, un senso, ovvero un significato e una direzione. Nessuno può varcare quella frontiera, se non chi ha il passaporto per il nostro cuore, o chi vi si intrufola con l'arte della seduzione o del contrabbando.”
