“...But the child's sob in silence curses deeper / Than the strong man in his wrath.”
“The bonds of silence and protection run deeper, for the moment, than his trust in me.”
“All that Syrio Forel had taught her went racing through her head. Swift as a deer. Quiet as shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. The man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords.”
“...there’s few on Earth as can cut a man deeper than his childless wife.”
“Wrath clapped his brother on the shoulder. On the whole, though, the SOB was a total keeper. “Forgiven, forgotten.” “Feel free to hammer me anytime.” “Believe me, I do.”
“The silence of the treacherous man should be feared more than his words.”
