20 Game of Thrones Quotes on 'The North' and 'Winter'
stoic Perspective
The absolute, heart-pounding chill of the coming storm, the brutal, unsentimental mechanics of the game of thrones where you win or you die, and the profound, direwolf-guarded truth that 'the North remembers'—Game of Thrones is the ultimate study of the grit and the high cost of the crown. These quotes are for the ones who are ready to face the long night. I was VERY disappointed with the show ending (last 3-4 seasons especially), but we cant deny that show left behind some awesome quotes (especially if you watched the show and know characters story).
