Tyrion Lannister Quotes

Latest quotes added:

Citizen of King's Landing: A dancing king, prancing down his bloodstained halls to the tune of a twisted demon monkey.

Tyrion Lannister: You have to admire his imagination.

Bronn: He's talking about you.

Tyrion Lannister: What? Demon monkey?

Bronn: The little king's backed up. Clogged from balls to brains.

Tyrion Lannister: You think dipping his wick will cure what ails him?

Bronn: There's no cure for being a c*nt. But the boy's at that age. And he's got nothing to do all day but pick wings off flies. Couldn't hurt to get some of the poison out.

Tyrion Lannister: Tell me the truth. Do you want an end to this engagement?

Sansa Stark: I am loyal to King Joffrey, my one true love.

Tyrion Lannister: Lady Stark, you may survive us yet.

Varys: Three great men sit in a room. A king, a priest and a rich man. Between them stands a common Sellsword. Each great man bids the Sellsword kill the other two. Who lives, who dies?

Tyrion Lannister: Depends on the Sellsword.

Varys: Does it? He has neither crown nor gold nor favor with the Gods.

Tyrion Lannister: He has a sword, the power of life and death.

Varys: But if it's swordsmen who rule, why do we pretend Kings hold all the power? When Ned Stark lost his head, who was truly responsible? Joffrey? The executioner? Or something else?

Tyrion Lannister: I've decided I don't like riddles.

Varys: Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick, a shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow.

Cersei Lannister: You want to be Hand of the King? You want to rule? This is what ruling is... lying on a bed of weeds, ripping them out by the root, one by one, before they strangle you in your sleep.

Tyrion Lannister: I'm no king, but I think there's more to ruling than that.

Tyrion Lannister: Listen to me, Queen Regent. You're losing the people. Do you hear me?

Cersei Lannister: The people. You think I care?

Tyrion Lannister: You might find it difficult to rule over millions who want you dead. Half the city will starve when winter comes. The other half will plot to overthrow you. And your gold-plated thugs just gave them their rallying cry... "The Queen slaughters babies." You don't even have the decency to deny it... It wasn't you who gave the order, was it? Joffrey didn't even tell you. Did he tell you? I imagine that would be even worse.

Tyrion Lannister: If I told you to murder an infant girl, say, still at her mother's breast, would you do it without question?

Bronn: Without question? No. I'd ask, "how much?"

Tyrion Lannister: Threaten me again and I'll have you thrown into the sea.

Varys: You might be disappointed in the results. Storms come and go, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling.

Cersei Lannister: Robb Stark is a child.

Tyrion Lannister: Who's won every battle he's fought.

Tyrion Lannister: It's been a remarkable journey. I pissed off the edge of the Wall, I slept in a sky cell, I fought with the hill tribes... so many adventures, so much to be thankful for.

Tyrion Lannister: Death is so boring, especially now with so much excitement in the world.

Tyrion Lannister: We looked for you on the battlefield. You were nowhere to be found.

Joffrey Baratheon: I've been here, ruling the kingdoms.

Tyrion Lannister: What a fine job you've done. (to Myrcella): Look at you. More beautiful than ever. (to Tommen): And you! You... you're going to be bigger than the hound, but much better looking.

Tyrion Lannister: If I die, weep for me.

Shae: You'll be dead. How will you know?

Tyrion Lannister: I'll know.

Tyrion Lannister (about his first love/wife): First, my father had Jaime tell me the truth. The girl was a wh*re, you see. Jaime had arranged the whole thing, the road, the rapers... all of it. He thought it was time I had a woman. After my brother confessed, my father brought in my wife and gave her to his guards. He paid her well... a silver for each man. How many wh*res command that kind of price? He brought me into the barracks and made me watch. By the end, she had so much silver that the coins were slipping through her fingers and rolling onto the floor.
