“- Do you pray to the gods?
– The old and the new.
– There is only one God and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: “Not today.”
Swordmaster Syrio Forel to his pupil, Arya Stark – from “Game of Thrones”
“You’re not here.You’re with your trouble.
If you are with your trouble when fighting happens–
–More trouble for you.
Just so…How can you be quick as a snake…
…Or as quiet as a shadow…
…When you are somewhere else?”
Swordmaster Syrio Forel to his pupil, Arya Stark – from “Game of Thrones”
“We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.”
George Orwell (1946)
