Orchard At Louveciennes The English Pear Tree (1875) By Pierre-Auguste Renoir

“Prisons, which are considered as preventive of anti-social deeds, are exactly the institutions for breeding them… Absence of education, dislike of regular work, physical incapability of sustained effort, misdirected love of adventure, gambling propensities, absence of energy, an untrained will, and carelessness about the happiness of others… it is exactly these defects of human nature — each one of them — which the prison breeds in its inmates; and it is bound to breed them because it is a prison, and will breed them so long as it exists.”

— Peter Kropotkin, Memoirs of a Revolutionist

GAME OF THRONES ∞ 1x02: Kingsroad While Bran recovers from his fall, Ned takes only his daughters to King's Landing. Daenerys focuses her attention on learning how to please her new husband, Drogo.

It’s interesting that mirri maz duur (whether on purpose or inadvertently) kills rhaego to prevent future suffering he and his khalasar might commit, but ultimately causes the birth of a much more destructive entity. She tells dany that, “The stallion who mounts the world will burn no cities now. His khalasar will trample no nations into dust,” after the stillbirth, believing that rhaego would become a Genghis Khan esque figure in essos. However, it is rhaego’s sacrifice that quickens dany’s eggs, allowing drogon, viserion, and rhaegal to be born. In the end, mirri gives dany far more power than she ever would have had under drogo and rhaego, and far more destructive capabilities.

What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms… or the memory of a brother’s smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.

Jon Snow - and family that haunts him, because sometimes ghosts make for the best love stories.

“That’s right. I killed your master. And now I’m gonna kill you too. With your own word, no less. Which in the very immediate future, will become my sword.”

Friedrich Von Amerling - Lost in Her Dreams, (1835)
