Ringrazio il mio caro amico JonSnow; per aver ideato e creato le immagini dei   miei bellissimi  ed elegantissimi avatar e firma

''Offend them and Jon loses his army.''
''Not if they lose their heads first.''

''I lupi sani e le donne sane hanno in comune talune caratteristiche psichiche: sensibilità acuta, spirito giocoso, e grande devozione. Lupi e donne sono affini per natura, sono curiosi di sapere e possiedono grande forza e resistenza. Sono profondamente intuitivi e si occupano intensamente dei loro piccoli, del compagno, del gruppo. Sono esperti nell'arte di adattarsi a circostanze sempre mutevoli; sono fieramente gagliardi e molto coraggiosi. Eppure le due specie sono state entrambe perseguitate''.

"And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!”

She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.

“I pass the test”, she said. “I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.”

"A ruler needs a good head and a true heart," she famously told the king. "A cock is not essential. If your Grace truly believes that women lack the wit to rule, plainly you have no further need of me." And thus Queen Alysanne departed King's Landing and flew to Dragonstone on her dragon Silverwing. [...] The queen died of a wasting illness in 100 AC, at the age of four-and-sixty, still insisting that her granddaughter Rhaenys and her children had been unfairly cheated of their rights. "The boy in the belly," the unborn child who had been the subject of so much debate, proved to be a girl when born in 93 AC. Her mother named her Laena. The next year, Rhaenys gave her a brother Laenor. 

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 are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.
