Ser Rodrik Cassel: Lord Stark… milady. The guardsmen just rode in from the hills. They’ve captured a deserter from the Night’s Watch. 

Eddard Stark: Get the lads to saddle their horses. 

Catelyn Stark: Do you have to? 

Eddard Stark: He swore an oath, Cat. 

Ser Rodrik Cassel: Law is law, milady. 

Eddard Stark: Tell Bran he’s coming, too. 

(Ser Rodrik nods and walks away) 

Catelyn Stark: Ned… ten is too young to see such things. 

Eddard Stark: He won’t be a boy forever… and winter is coming.

“I followed you into war. Twice. Without doubts, without second thoughts. But I will not follow you now. The Robert I grew up with didn’t tremble at the shadow of an unborn child.”

Eddard Stark: Handsome armor. Not a scratch on it. 

Jaime Lannister: I know. People have been swinging at me for years and they always seem to miss. 

Eddard Stark: Chosen your opponents wisely, then.

“I grew up with soldiers. I learned how to die a long time ago.”

Eddard Stark, from HBO’s Game of Thrones, Baelor (ep. 9)

“When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. Summer is the time for squabbles. In winter, we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths.”

Eddard Stark, A Game of Thrones 

“If you would take a man’s life, you owe it to him to look him in the face and hear his last words.”
