Movie quotes

(..) No tears. I know it was hard for you. You turned away a man who truly loves you because he would have been a liability in the Seven Kingdoms. That's the kind of self-sacrifice that makes for a good ruler, if it's any consolation. It's not. No, I suppose not. I'm terrible at consoling. (..)
