Jon Snow Quotes
 | Season 3 / Episode 7: - The Bear and the Maiden Fair Jon Snow: Ygritte, you won't win. I know your people are brave, no one denies that. Ygritte: You know nothing, Jon... Jon Snow: Six times in last thousand years a King Beyond the Wall has attacked the Kingdoms. Six times they failed. Ygritte: And how do you know that? Jon Snow: Every boy in the North knows it. We grow up learning it. Where the battles were fought. The names of the heroes. Who died where. Six times you've invaded and six times you've failed. The seventh will be the same. Ygritte: Mance is different. Jon Snow: You don't have the discipline. You don't have the training. You're army is no army. You don't know how to fight together. Ygritte: You don't know that. Jon Snow: I do. I know it. If you attack the Wall, you'll die. All of you. Ygritte: All of us. You're mine as I'm yours. If we die, we die. But first, we'll live. Jon Snow: Yes, first we'll live. |
 | Season 3 / Episode 6: - The Climb Ygritte: Don't ever betray me. Jon Snow: I won't. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 10: - Fire and Blood Jeor Mormont: Honor made you leave, and honor brought you back. Jon Snow: My friends brought me back. Jeor Mormont: I didn't say it was *your* honor. |
| Season 1 / Episode 10: - Fire and Blood Ser Jorah Mormont: When dead men, and worse, come hunting for us in the night, do you think it matters who sits the Iron Throne? Jon Snow: No. Ser Jorah Mormont: Good. Because I want you and your wolf with us when we ride beyond the Wall tomorrow. Jon Snow: Beyond the Wall? Ser Jorah Mormont: I will not sit meekly by and wait for the snows. I mean to find out what's happening. The Night's Watch will ride in force against the wildlings, the White Walkers, and whatever else is out there. And we will find Benjen Stark, alive or dead. I will command them myself. So I will ask you once, Lord Snow, are you a brother of the Night's Watch, or a bastard boy who wants to play at war? |
 | Season 1 / Episode 9: - Baelor Maester Aemon: Tell me, did you ever wonder why the men of the Night's Watch take no wives and father no children? Jon Snow: No. Maester Aemon: So they will not love. Love is the death of duty. If the day should ever come when your lord father was forced to choose between honor on the one hand and those he loves on the other, what would he do? Jon Snow: He... He would do whatever was right. No matter what. Maester Aemon: Then Lord Stark is one man in 10,000. Most of us are not so strong. What is honor compared to a woman's love? And what is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? Or a brother's smile? Jon Snow: Sam told you. Maester Aemon: We're all human. Oh, we all do our duty when there's no cost to it. Honor comes easy then. Yet sooner or later in every man's life there comes a day when it's not easy. A day when he must choose. Jon Snow: And this is my day? Is that what you are saying? Maester Aemon: Oh, it hurts, boy, Oh, yes. I know. Jon Snow: You do not know! No one knows. I may be a bastard, but he is my father and Robb is my brother! Maester Aemon: [chuckles] The gods were cruel when they saw fit to test my vows. They waited till I was old. What could I do when the ravens brought news from the South? The ruin of my House, the death of my family? I was helpless, blind, frail. But when I heard they had killed my brother's son, and his poor son, and the children. Even the little children! Jon Snow: Who are you? Maester Aemon: My father was Maekar, the First of his Name. My brother Aegon reigned after him, when I had refused the throne, and he was followed by his son Aerys, whom they called the Mad King. Jon Snow: You're Aemon Targaryen. Maester Aemon: I am a master of the Citadel, bound in service to Castle Black and the Night's Watch. I will not tell you... to stay or go. You must make that choice yourself, and live with it for the rest of your days. As I have. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 8: - The Pointy End Samwell Tarly: They were touched by White Walkers. That's why they came back. That's why their eyes turned blue. Only fire will stop them. Jon Snow: How do you know that? Samwell Tarly: I read about it in a book... a very old book in Maester Aemon's library. Jon Snow: What else did the book say? Samwell Tarly: The White Walkers sleep beneath the ice for thousands of years. And when they wake up... Pypar: And when they wake up... what? Samwell Tarly: [hesitates] I hope the Wall is high enough. |
| Season 1 / Episode 8: - The Pointy End Jeor Mormont: It's Othor, without a doubt. Bowen Marsh: The other one is Jafer Flowers, My Lord, less the hand the wolf tore off. Jeor Mormont: Any sign of Benjen or the rest of his party? Jon Snow: Just these two, My Lord. Been dead awhile, I'd say. Samwell Tarly: The smell. Bowen Marsh: What smell? Samwell Tarly: [shrugs and shakes his head] There is none. If they'd be dead for a long time, wouldn't there be rot? Jon Snow: We should burn them. Bowen Marsh: Snow's not wrong, My Lord. Fire will do for them. The Wildling way. Jeor Mormont: I want Maester Aemon to examine them first. Jeor Mormont: You may be a coward, Tarly, but you're not stupid. Jeor Mormont: Get them inside. |
| Season 1 / Episode 8: - The Pointy End Samwell Tarly: [while burning a corpse of a Night's Watch member] They were touched by the white walkers. That's why they came back. That's why their eyes turned blue. Only fire will stop them. Jon Snow: How do you know that? Samwell Tarly: I read about it in a book... a very old book in Maester Aemon's library. Jon Snow: What else did the book say? Samwell Tarly: The white walkers sleep beneath the ice for thousands of years. And when they wake up... Pypar: And when they wake up, what? Samwell Tarly: I hope the Wall's high enough. [they all look up towards the Wall] |
 | Season 1 / Episode 7: - You Win or You Die Jon Snow: [recites the vow] Hear my words, and bear witness to my vow: night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realm of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come. |
| Season 1 / Episode 7: - You Win or You Die Jon Snow: [along with Sam] Hear my words and bear witness to my vow. Night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realm of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 4: - Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things Alliser Thorne: Enjoying yourselves? Alliser Thorne: You look cold, boys. Samwell Tarly: It is a bit nippy. Alliser Thorne: Bit nippy, yeah. By the fire, indoors... it's still summer. Do you boys even remember the last winter? How long has it been now? What, ten years? Jon Snow: I remember. Alliser Thorne: Was it uncomfortable at Winterfell? Were there days when you just couldn't get warm, never mind how many fires your servants built? Jon Snow: I build my own fires. Alliser Thorne: That's admirable. I spent six months out there, beyond the Wall, during the last winter. Supposed to be a two-week mission. We heard a rumor Mance Rayder was planning to attack Eastwatch, so we went out to look for some of his men, capture them, gather some knowledge. The Wildlings who fight for Mance Rayder are hard men... harder than you'll ever be. They know their country better than we do. They knew there was a storm coming in. So they hid in their caves and waited for it to pass... and we got caught in the open. Wind so strong, it yanked hundred-foot trees straight from the ground, roots and all. If you took your gloves off to find your cock to have a piss, you lost a finger to the frost. And all in darkness. Alliser Thorne: You don't know cold. Neither of you do. The horses died first. Didn't have enough to feed them, to keep them warm. Eating the horses was easy... but later, when we started to fall... that wasn't easy. Alliser Thorne: We should've had a couple of boys like you along, shouldn't we? Soft, fat boys like you. We'd have lasted a fortnight on you, and still have bones left over for soup. Soon we'll have new recruits, and you lot will be passed along to the Lord Commander for assignment. And they will call you "men of the Night's Watch," but you'd be fools to believe it. You're boys, still. And come the winter, you will die... like flies. |
| Season 1 / Episode 4: - Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things Pypar: Where have you been? Jon Snow: Watch duty with Sam. Pypar: Ah, Prince Porkchop. Where is he? Jon Snow: He wasn't hungry. Pypar: Impossible! Jon Snow: That's enough. Sam's no different from the rest of us. There was no place for him in the world, so he's come here. We're not gonna hurt him in the training yard anymore. Never again, no matter what Thorne says. He's our brother now, and we're going to protect him. Rast: You ARE in love, Lord Snow. You girls can do as you please. But if Thorne puts me up against Lady Piggy, I'm gonna slice me off a side of bacon. |
| Season 1 / Episode 4: - Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things Samwell Tarly: Hello. Ser Alliser said I'm to be your new watch partner. I should warn you, I don't see all that well. Jon Snow: Come stand by the fire. It's warmer. Samwell Tarly: No, that's all right, I'm fine. Jon Snow: You're not. You're freezing. Samwell Tarly: [walks over to the fire and peers over the edge of the Wall] I don't like high places. Jon Snow: You can't fight... you can't see... you're afraid of heights and almost everything else, probably. Jon Snow: What are you doing here, Sam? Samwell Tarly: On the morning of my eighteenth nameday, my father came to me. "You're almost a man now," he said, "but you are not worthy of my land and title. Tomorrow you're going to take the black, forsake all claim to your inheritance, and start north. If you do not," he said, "then we'll have a hunt, and somewhere in these woods your horse will stumble, and you'll be thrown from your saddle to die. Or so I'll tell your mother. Nothing would please me more." Samwell Tarly: Ser Alliser's going to make me fight again tomorrow, isn't he? Jon Snow: Yes, he is. Samwell Tarly: [groans] I'm not going to get any better, you know. Jon Snow: Well, you can't get any worse. |
| Season 1 / Episode 4: - Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things Samwell Tarly: I know for a fact that some of the officers go to that brothel in Mole's Town. Jon Snow: I wouldn't doubt it. Samwell Tarly: Don't you think it's a little bit unfair? Making us take our vows while they sneak off for a little Sally on the side? Jon Snow: Sally on the side? Samwell Tarly: It's silly, isn't it? What, *we* can't defend the Wall unless we're celibate? It's absurd. Jon Snow: I didn't think you'd be so upset about it. Samwell Tarly: Why not? Because I'm fat? Jon Snow: No. Samwell Tarly: But I like girls just as much as you do. They might not like me as much. I've never... been with one. You've probably had hundreds. Jon Snow: No. As a matter of fact, I'm the same as you. Samwell Tarly: Yeah. Yeah, I... I find that hard to believe. Jon Snow: I came very close once. I was alone in a room with a naked girl, but... Samwell Tarly: Didn't know where to put it? Jon Snow: I know where to put it. Samwell Tarly: Was she... old and ugly? Jon Snow: Young and gorgeous. A whore named Ros. Samwell Tarly: What color hair? Jon Snow: Red. Samwell Tarly: Oh, I like red hair. And her... her um. Jon Snow: You don't want to know. Samwell Tarly: What, that good? Jon Snow: Better. |
| Season 1 / Episode 4: - Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things Samwell Tarly: So why exactly did you not make love to Ros with the perfect...? Jon Snow: What's my name? Samwell Tarly: Jon Snow. Jon Snow: And why is my surname Snow? Samwell Tarly: Because... you're a bastard from the North. Jon Snow: I never met my mother. My father wouldn't even tell me her name. I don't know if she's living or dead. I don't know if she's a noblewoman or a fisherman's wife... or a whore. So I sat there in the brothel as Ros took off her clothes. But I couldn't do it. Because all I could think was what if I got her pregnant and she had a child, another bastard named Snow? It's not a good life for a child. Samwell Tarly: So... you didn't know where to put it? |
 | Season 1 / Episode 3: - Lord Snow Benjen Stark: We've been receiving disturbing reports. Jon Snow: What kind of reports? Benjen Stark: The kind I don't want to believe. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Kingsroad Jon Snow: Why do you read so much? Tyrion Lannister: Look at me and tell me what you see. Jon Snow: Is this a trick? Tyrion Lannister: What you see is a dwarf. If I had been born a peasant, they might have left me out in the woods to die. Alas, I was born a Lannister of Casterly Rock. Things are expected of me. My father was the Hand of the King for twenty years. Jon Snow: Until your brother killed that king. Tyrion Lannister: ...Yes. Until my brother killed him. Life is full of these little ironies. My sister married the new king, and my repulsive nephew will be king after him. I must do my part for the honor of my house; wouldn't you agree? But how? Well, my brother has his sword, and I have my mind. And a mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone. That's why I read so much, Jon Snow. |
| Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Kingsroad Jaime Lannister: Let me thank you ahead of time for guarding us all from the perils beyond the wall: Wildlings and White Walkers and whatnot. Jaime Lannister: We're grateful for there are good and strong men like you protecting us. Jon Snow: We've guarded the kingdoms for 8,000 years. Jaime Lannister: Is it "we" already? Have you taken your vows then? Jon Snow: Soon enough. Jaime Lannister: Give my regards to the Night's Watch. I'm sure it will be thrilling to serve in such an elite force. And it not... it's only for life. |
| Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Kingsroad Jon Snow: Stick 'em with the pointy end. Arya Stark: I know which end to use. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 1: - Winter is Coming Tyrion Lannister: Let me tell you something, Bastard. Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you. Jon Snow: What the hell do you know about being a bastard? Tyrion Lannister: All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes. |
| Season 1 / Episode 1: - Winter is Coming Will: [to Ned, just before his execution] I know I broke my oath. I know I'm a deserter. I should've gone back to the Wall and warned them, but... I saw what I saw. I saw the White Walkers. People need to know. If you can get word to my family... tell 'em I'm no coward. Tell 'em I'm sorry. [Ned pauses, then nods. The guards force Will onto the chopping block and Ned draws his sword] Forgive me, lord. Eddard Stark: In the name of Robert of the House Baratheon, the First of His Name... Jon Snow: [aside, to Bran] Don't look away. Father will know if you do. Eddard Stark: ...Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm, I, Eddard of the House Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, sentence you to die. [he decaptitates Will] Jon Snow: [to Bran] You did well. |
