“Crowns do queer things to the heads beneath them.”

“No one who wears a crown is ever safe.”

“It was a hollow victory they gave me. A crown...it was the girl I prayed them for. Your sister, safe... and mine again as she was meant to be. I ask you, Ned, what good is it to wear a crown?”

“His cloak was his crowning glory; sable, thick and black and soft as sin.”
