- "On the seventh day, a cloud of ravens burst from the towers of Dragonstone to bring Lord Aegon's word to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. To the seven kings they flew, to the Citadel of Oldtown, to lords both great and small. All carried the same message: from this day forth there would be but one king in Westeros. Those who bent the knee to Aegon of House Targaryen would keep their lands and titles. Those who took up arms against him would be thrown down, humbled, and destroyed."
- ― writings of Gyldayn (A Song of Ice and Fire)
- "FIGHT! Fight for the glory of your God! God does not help those who kneel before him! God does not save those who pray for mercy! for those are not true prayers. When you beg in the presence of your lord, your piety only begs for death! True prayer is forged in battle, dazzle your lord in battle and you shall know him! you shall know Jerusalem! after the tearing, the crushing, the breaking of men's bones, when the fruits of our prayers lie at our feet, God will descend from his throne on high to bring judgement upon his wretched and pitiful servants! "
- ― Vlad Tepes (Hellsing Ultimate)
- "A crown is warranted with strength."
