Daenerys Targaryen Quotes

Tyrion Lannister: There's always been more than enough death in the world for my taste. I can do without it in my leisure time.

Hizdahr zo Loraq: Fair enough. Yet it's an unpleasant question, but what great thing has ever been accomplished without killing or cruelty?

Tyrion Lannister: It's easy to confuse what is with what ought to be, especially when what is has worked out in your favor.

Hizdahr zo Loraq: I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about the necessary conditions for greatness.

Daenerys Targaryen: That is greatness?

Hizdahr zo Loraq: That is a vital part of the great city of Meereen, which existed long before you or I and will remain standing long after we have returned to the dirt.

Tyrion Lannister: My father would have liked you.

Daenerys Targaryen: I know what my father was. What he did. I know the Mad King earned his name.

Tyrion Lannister: So, here we sit. Two terrible children of two terrible fathers.

Daenerys Targaryen: I'm terrible?

Tyrion Lannister: I've heard stories.

Daenerys Targaryen: Why did you travel to the far side of the world to meet someone terrible?

Tyrion Lannister: To see if you were the right kind of terrible.

Daenerys Targaryen: Which kind is that?

Tyrion Lannister: The kind that prevents your people from being even more so.

Daenerys Targaryen: So, have you decided yet? Whether I'm worthy of your service?

Tyrion Lannister: Have you decided yet whether you're going to have me killed?

Daenerys Targaryen: It's probably my safest option.

Tyrion Lannister: I can see why you would think so. It's what your father would have done.

Daenerys Targaryen: And what would your father have done?

Tyrion Lannister: My father, who publically sentenced me to death? I'd say his thoughts on having me killed were abundantly clear.

Daenerys Targaryen: Is that why you killed him?

Tyrion Lannister: Someday if you decide not to execute me, I'll tell you all about why I killed my father. And on that day, should it ever come, we'll need more wine than this.

Daenerys Targaryen: Why should I spend my time listening to you?

Tyrion Lannister: Because you cannot build a better world on your own. You have no one at your side who understands the land you want to rule. The strengths and weaknesses of the houses that will either join or oppose you.

Daenerys Targaryen: I will have a very large army and very large dragons.

Tyrion Lannister: Killing and politics aren't always the same thing. When I served as Hand of the King, I did quite well with the latter considering the king in question preferred torturing animals to leading his people. I could do an even better job advising a ruler worth the name. If that is indeed what you are.
