【Game of Thrones】

• Valar Vorghulis

• What do we have left once we abandon the lie?

• It doesn't matter what we want, once we get it, then we want something else.

• If you waste time trying to get people to love you, you will end up the most popular dead man in town.

• Eloquent men are right every bit as often as imbeciles.

• A lion does not concern himself with the opinion of sheep.

• Old stories are like old friends. You have to visit them from time to time.

• A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge.

• The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.

• When you play Game of Thrones, you win or you die.

【《权力的游戏》】

• 凡人终逝

• 戳破谎言，我们还剩下什么？

• 不管我们想要什么，一旦得到，兴趣就转移了。

• 别浪费时间让人们喜欢你，最后也就是个受欢迎的死人。

• 雄辩滔滔者说对的几率与蠢材一般无二。

• 狮子才不会关心绵羊的意见。

• 老故事就像老朋友，你得时不时去看看他们。

• 大脑需要书才能保持敏锐，就像剑需要磨刀石一样。

• 孤狼死，群狼生。

• 在权力的游戏中，成王败寇。

【注】姆迪纳“寂静之城”拥有4,000多年历史，自古以来一直是马耳他的古都，直至中世纪1530年圣约翰骑士团到来。2011年，这个设防城镇曾为美国奇幻剧集《权力的游戏》(Game of Thrones)的外景拍摄地。
