Tyrion Lannister Quotes

Latest quotes added:

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.

Tyrion Lannister: I liked it. Power... even as a servant.

Varys: People follow leaders and they will never follow us. They find us repulsive.

Tyrion Lannister: I find us repulsive.

Varys: And we find them... repulsive, which is why we surround ourselves with large comfortable boxes to keep them away. And yet... no matter what we do... people like you and me are never really satisfied inside the box. Not for long.

Tyrion Lannister: And what do you hope to find at the end of the road to Meereen?

Varys: I told you. A ruler.

Tyrion Lannister: We've already got a ruler. Everywhere has already got a ruler. Every pile of sh*t on the side of every road has someone's banner hanging from it.

Varys: You are quite good, do you know? At ruling. During your brief tenure as Hand.

Tyrion Lannister: I didn't rule, I was a servant.

Varys: Still, a man of talent.

Tyrion Lannister: Managed to kill a lot of people?

Varys: Yes, but you showed great promise in other areas as well.

Varys: You have your father's instincts for politics. And you have compassion.

Tyrion Lannister: Compassion? Yes. I killed my lover with my bare hands. I shot my own father with a crossbow.

Varys: I never said you were perfect.

Tyrion Lannister: Eunuch, the Spider, the Master of Whisperers.

Varys: Imp, Half-man. There are faster ways to kill yourself.

Tyrion Lannister: Not for a coward.

Varys: You are many things, my friend, but not a coward.

Tyrion Lannister: All my life you've wanted me dead.

Tywin Lannister: Yes. But you refused to die. I respect that. Even admire it. You fight for what's yours. I'd never let them execute you. Is that what you fear? I'll never let Ilyn Payne take your head. You're a Lannister. You're my son.

Tyrion Lannister: What's the punishment for regicide? Drawing and quartering? Hanging? Breaking at the wheel?

Jaime Lannister: Beheading.

Tyrion Lannister: Seems rather ordinary. And he was my nephew as well, so what is that? Fratricide is brothers. Filicide is sons. Nepoticide. That's the one. Matricide, patricide, infanticide, suicide. There's no kind of killing that doesn't have its own word.

Jaime Lannister: Cousins.

Tyrion Lannister: Cousins, you're right. There is no word for cousin killing.

Tyrion Lannister: Sooner or later, Cersei always gets what she wants.

Oberyn Martell: And what about what I want? Justice for my sister and her children.

Tyrion Lannister: If you want justice, you've come to the wrong place.

Oberyn Martell: I disagree. I've come to the perfect place. I want to bring those who have wronged me to justice. And all those who have wronged me are right here.

Oberyn Martell: The whole way from Dorne all anyone talked about was the monster that had been born to Tywin Lannister. A head twice the size of his body, a tail between his legs, claws, one red eye, the privates of both a girl and a boy.

Tyrion Lannister: That would have made things so much easier.

Oberyn Martell: When we met your sister, she promised she would show you to us. Every day we would ask. Every day she would say, "Soon." Then she and your brother took us to your nursery and... she unveiled the freak. Your head was a bit large. Your arms and legs were a bit small, but no claw. No red eye. No tail between your legs. Just a tiny pink c*ck. We didn't try to hide our disappointment. "That's not a monster," I told Cersei.  "That's just a baby." And she said, "He killed my mother." And she pinched your little c*ck so hard, I thought she might pull it off. Until your brother made her stop. "It doesn't matter," she told us. "Everyone says he will die soon. I hope they are right. He should not have lived this long."

Bronn: Aye, I'm your friend. And when have you ever risked your life for me? I like you, pampered little sh*t that you are. I just like myself more.

Tyrion Lannister: I understand.

Bronn: I'm sorry it has to be this way.

Tyrion Lannister: Why are you sorry? Because you're an evil b*stard with no conscience and no heart? That's what I liked about you in the first place.

Bronn: We had some good days together.

Tyrion Lannister: Yes, we did.

Bronn: You once said if anyone ever asked me to sell you out, you'd double their price.

Tyrion Lannister: Is it two wives you want or two castles?

Bronn: One of each will do. But if you want me to kill the Mountain for you, it'd better be a damn big castle.
