"Before he had lost his sight, the maester had loved books as much as Samwell Tarly did. He understood the way that you could sometimes fall right into them, as if each page was a hole into another world."

Imagination

"It was queer how sometimes a child's innocent eyes can see things that grown men are blind to."

Perception

"No, said Bran. "I haven't. And if I have it doesn't matter. Sometimes Old Nan would tell the same story she'd told before, but we never minded, if it was a good story. Old stories are like old friends, she used to say. You have to visit them from time to time."

Literature

"Most of my kin are bastards," [Tyrion] said with a wry smile, "but you're the first I've had to friend."

Friendship

Power

"All the world knew that a maester forged his silver link when he learned the art of healing-but the world preferred to forget that men who knew how to heal also knew how to kill."

Knowledge

"Men come and go. They lie, or die, or leave you."
