“One of the most beautiful things about 'Game of Thrones' is it's told from so many different points of view, and these characters can convince you that what they're doing is right. But they're only showing you a bit of the picture, and when you see it from another character's point of view you may switch allegiances.” MayDifferentCharacterBeautifulGamesBitsViewsPoint Of ViewConvinceBeautiful ThingsThronesAllegianceDifferent Points Of View Author:Richard Madden
“It is possible that our race may be an accident, in a meaningless universe, living its brief life uncared for, on this dark, cooling star: but even so - and all the more - what marvelous creatures we are! What fairy story, what tale from the Arabian Nights of the jinns, is a hundredth part as wonderful as this true fairy story of simians! It is so much more heartening, too, than the tales we invent. A universe capable of giving birth to many such accidents is - blind or not - a good world to live in, a promising universe. . . .

“Now, to a single-minded man, who is either brave enough or reckless enough to surrender himself wholly to one idea, and look neither right nor left, but only forward, what earthly consequences may follow is not material. Persecution strengthens him; and so he is sure he is right, whether his course end in a prison or on a throne is no matter at all. But men of this calibre are uncommon in any age or in any country very uncommon in this age and this country.” MenLooksMayIdeasEndsCountryMatterEnoughAgeCoursesLeftMaterialsConsequencePrisonBraveSurrenderThronesPersecutionRecklessUncommon Book:The Nemesis of Faith Source: The Nemesis of Faith
