"Seven, Brienne thought again, despairing. She had no chance against seven, she knew. No chance, and no choice". Asoiaf, A Feast for Crows - Brienne VII
"Honor to those who in the life they lead define and guard a Thermopylae. Never betraying what is right, consistent and just in all they do but showing pity also, and compassion; generous when they're rich, and when they're poor, still generous in small ways, still helping as much as they can; always speaking the truth, yet without hating those who lie. And even more honor is due to them when they foresee (as many do foresee) that Ephialtis will turn up in the end, that the Medes will break through after all". Thermopylae, Constantine P. Cavafy
"Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death [he quotes Simone de Beauvoir] 'All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident [...].' Well, you may agree with the words or not, but those are the key spring of The Lord Of The Rings". JRR Tolkien
