George RR Martin quote: "If I look back, I am lost. A queen must listen to all. The highborn, and the low, the strong and the weak, the noble and the venal. One voice may speak you false but in many there is truth to be found. It seems to me that a queen who trusts no one is as foolish as a queen who trusts everyone. A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who enver reads lives only one."
