• Larys Strong : [to Queen Alicent]  What are children but a weakness, a folly, a futility? Through them, you imagine you cheat the great darkness of its victory. You will persist forever, in some form or another. As if they will keep you from the dust. But for them, you surrender what you should not. You may know what is the right thing to be done, but love stays the hand. Love is a downfall. Best to make your way through life unencumbered, if you ask me.

• Larys Strong : You've heard the stories of Harrenhal, Your Grace. It was built in hubris by Harren the Black as a monument to his own greatness. Blood mixed into the mortar. It is said to be a cursed place. That it passes judgment on all who pass beneath its gates.

  Queen Alicent Hightower : You... you passed judgment.

  Larys Strong : The Queen makes a wish. What servant of the realm would not strive to fulfill it?
