Quote by George R.R. Martin

“Justice.' Thoros smiled wanly. 'I remember justice. It had a pleasant taste. Justice was what we were about hone Beria led us, or so we told ourselves. We were king's men, knights, and heroes...but some knights are dark and full of terror, my lady. War makes monsters of us all.' 'Are you saying you are monsters?' 'I am saying we are human. You are not the only one with wounds, Lady Brienne. Some of my brothers were good men when this began. Some were...less good, shall we say? Though there are those who say it does not matter how a man begins, but only how it ends. I suppose it is the same for women.”

"Mind you, I'm not surprised Major Kurland is a difficult patient. After his distinguished career in the military, it must be hard for him to be idle." Lucy didn't argue the point. The whole village seemed intent on hero-worshipping Major Kurland, and wouldn't hear a word against him. Only she, Foley, and Bookman seemed to know what it was really like to tend the oh-so-ungallant major.”

“Until that moment, I had assumed my job--my role in the crisis--was to absorb the grief, anger, and pain building up and spilling out around Tammy and our kids. Absorb their grief so they wouldn't feel the full brunt. My job. But that night, I expressed my sorrow rather than trying to deflect or divert the hard hit Tammy had also taken. Judging from her response, it appeared more meaningful to her than the strength I'd been trying to portray.”
