For some, the one taste of battle is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. Brothers watch their brothers die, fathers lose their sons, friends see their friends trying to hold their entrails in after they’ve been gutted by an axe. I take no joy in battle, those who do lack soul. Brienne of Tarth “A Storm of Swords” G.R.R.M The words of House Tarth; “Judge us by our actions”
