"If I could wish the Kingslayer back in chains I would. You freed him without my knowledge or consent... but what you did, I know you did for love. For Arya and Sansa, and out of grief for Bran and Rickon. Loveâ€™s not always wise, Iâ€™ve learned. It can lead us to great folly, but we follow our hearts... wherever they take us. Donâ€™t we, Mother?"

-- George R. R. Martin

Even the thought of her name makes it hard for me to breathe. I'm almost embarrassed by my reaction. Are June and I a good match? No. It's the first word to pop into my mind. And yet, still.”
“In a way, art has always been my way of problem-solving, of getting through situations, of finding my response to things, so to imagine doing something else makes me panic a little bit.”
