Scelgo una frase che lo descrive benissimo per me:
A dead enemy is a thing of beauty.
Reek: Robb, who had been more a brother to Theon than any son born of Balon Greyjoys loins. Murdered at the Red Wedding, butchered by the Freys. I should have been with him. Where was I? I should have died with him
Neanche una che come me nn sopporta molto Theon, nn puó non apprezzare questa frase.

"It may be that we shall lose this battle," the king said grimly. "In Braavos you may hear that I am dead. It may even be true. You shall find my sellswords nonetheless."
The knight hesitated. "Your Grace, if you are dead..."
"... you will avenge my death, and seat my daughter on the Iron Throne. Or die in the attempt."

Ho votato la frase numero sette. Ne amo molto anche un'altra che non compare nella lista:
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Any man who must say ‘I am the king’ is no true king at all. Tywin Lannister
The War of the Ninepenny Kings? So they called it, though I never saw a king, nor earned a penny. It was war, though. That it was.

We swore a vow.
Ho votato:
Only a fool humbles himself when the world is so full of men eager to do that job for him.
Perchè rappresenta al meglio la personalità di Theon, debole e fragile. Ma anch'io, come Alysanne, amo molto questo pezzo (più che frase)... il mio preferito di tutta la saga 
The night was windless, the snow drifting straight down out of a cold black sky, yet the leaves of the heart tree were rustling his name. “Theon,” they seemed to whisper, “Theon.”The old gods, he thought. They know me. They know my name. I was Theon of House Greyjoy. I was a ward of Eddard Stark, a friend and brother to his children. “Please.” He fell to his knees. “A sword, that’s all I ask. Let me die as Theon, not as Reek.” Tears trickled down his cheeks, impossibly warm. “I was ironborn. A son ... a son of Pyke, of the islands.”A leaf drifted down from above, brushed his brow, and landed in the pool. It floated on the water, red, five-fingered, like a bloody hand. “... Bran,” the tree murmured.
“Non mi sono piaciute per niente quelle accuse, no, no e no“ grugniva la scrofa, ancheggiando per il vialetto. La coniglietta e l’asina le consigliarono più giudizio, perché quanto successo all’ape regina non era piacevole. “Dai, suvvia, non esagerare… secondo me i rospetti son stati fuori luogo“ si impuntò in particolar modo la coniglietta, ma la scrofa, beh, ormai l’avrete capito anche voi, non gliene poteva fregare di meno. “Le è stato rubato un alveare, ma di cosa stiamo parlando!“
Ho votato la sette ma non posso esimermi dal quotare altre frasi a mio avviso bellissime che definiscono il personaggio e la sua storia
"I knew a man once who told me that I smiled at the wrong things." "Do you?" "Only by the light of those who smile at nothing"
Theon found himself wondering if he should say a prayer. Will the old gods hear me if I do? They were not his gods, had never been his gods. He was ironborn, a son of Pyke, his god was the Drowned God of the islands … but Winterfell was long leagues from the sea. It had been a lifetime since any god had heard him. He did not know who he was, or what he was, why he was still alive, why he had ever been born.
The old gods, he thought. They know me. They know my name. I was Theon of House Greyjoy. I was a ward of Eddard Stark, a friend and brother to his children. “Please.” He fell to his knees. “A sword, that’s all I ask. Let me die as Theon, not as Reek.” Tears trickled down his cheeks, impossibly warm. “I was ironborn. A son … a son of Pyke, of the islands.”
"Boys believe nothing can hurt them, his doubt whispered. Grown men know better."
"In the dark he did not need a name, so it was easy to forget.”
"A ruined man, a ruined castle. This is my place."
"There are Ghosts in Winterfell and I am one of them"
"He means to kill me. The thought was queerly comforting. Death did not frighten Theon Greyjoy. Death would mean an end to pain."
Questa mi colpì molto quando la lessi la prima volta: è molto semplice e forse anche nulla di che, ma la sento mia perché da donna nata e cresciuta in una città costiera, quando per alcuni eventi mi sono ritrovata lontana per lungo tempo dalla mia città natale ho sentito forte la nostalgia del mare
"The sea meant freedom to the men of the Iron Islands. He had forgotten that until the Myraham had raised sail at Seagard. The sounds brought old feelings back; the creak of wood and rope, the captain’s shouted commands, the snap of the sails as the wind filled them, each as familiar as the beating of his own heart, and as comforting. I must remember this, Theon vowed to himself. I must never go far from the sea again."
"All singers were half-mad. In songs, the hero always saved the maiden from the monster’s castle, but life was not a song, no more than Jeyne was Arya Stark."
E poi le due frasi che rappresentano più di tutte Theon Greyjoy, il suo desiderio di appartenenza e la sua ricerca dell'identità:
"Theon wondered what that would be like, to have a home."
"Theon, my name is Theon, you have to know your name."
We do not Sow
"She would die as she had lived, with an axe in her hand and a laugh upon her lips
"I am Asha of House Greyjoy, aye. Opinions differ on whether I'm a lady."

“You may dress an ironman in silks and velvets, teach him to read and write and give him books, instruct him in chivalry and courtesy and the mysteries of the Faith,” writes Archmaester Haereg,
“but when you look into his eyes, the sea will still be there,cold and grey and cruel.”

Fate bene ad elencare tutte le citazioni che mancano. Noi ci stiamo limitando a prenderle dalla wiki of ice and fire, ma effettivamente ero consapevole che per Theon ce ne sarebbero state migliaia di altre.
Sarebbe bello che tutti contribuissero per i sondaggi. Magari se avete un personaggio preferito potreste occuparvi del sondaggio e anche integrare altre frasi con quelle della wiki. Se avete voglia.
Quindi anche per gli altri sondaggi, se avete altre citazioni rappresentative dei personaggi aggiungetele via messaggio. Se ci sarà mai un sondaggio finale si potrebbe anche prenderle in esame.
Me ne piacciono moltissime:
Reek: Robb, who had been more a brother to Theon than any son born of Balon Greyjoy’s loins. Murdered at the Red Wedding, butchered by the Freys. I should have been with him. Where was I? I should have died with him.
questa fa il paio con:
Barbrey: Why do you love the Starks?
Theon: I … I wanted to be one of them …
Barbrey: And never could. We have more in common than you know, my lord.
The boar can keep his tusks, and the bear his claws. There's nothing half so mortal as a grey goose feather.

E' sempre un dispiacere che quando tutti i lupi dovrebbero sollevarsi, un posto possa rimanere vuoto.
A man might befriend a wolf, even break a wolf, but no man could truly tame a wolf.
When the snows fall and the white winds blow,
the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives
Stark è grigio e Greyjoy è nero
Ma sembra che il vento sia in entrambi
Ce ne sono molte, ma quella su Robb è magica
"Asha: Ten years a wolf, [...] and think to prince about the islands. [...] Why should men fight and die for you? Theon: I am their lawful prince. Asha: By the laws of the green lands, you might be. But we make our own laws here, or have you forgotten?"
è che "Tu non sai niente" era già presa da Jon Snow, perché Theon è un altro che non sa mai un'amata cippa ...
Ho votato l'ultima di Asha. Il fatto è che Theon non ne indovina mai una. 
Ho votato "Robb, who had been more a brother to Theon than any son born of Balon Greyjoy’s loins. Murdered at the Red Wedding, butchered by the Freys. I should have been with him. Where was I? I should have died with him".
Bellissima questa, una delle mie frasi preferite, ho riletto quel capitolo e specialmente questo passo un milione di volte 
"Pensavo che il mio canto fosse solo all'inizio quel giorno, invece era quasi alla fine"
Ce ne sono taaaante, però direi questa:

Bran,” the tree murmured.
Ho votato la prima di Reek, è una frase che mi piace molto (ma in generale mi piacciono le frasi dove dice "Reek, che fa rima con..."), perché mi sembra che sia il punto di svolta della maturazione del personaggio di Theon.
