Peak Zenit's Key Ideas from A Game of Thrones
by George R. R. Martin

“Fear cuts deeper than swords.”

“Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.”

“What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms . . . or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.”

“Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.”

“Give me honorable enemies rather than ambitious ones, and I'll sleep more easily by night.”
