    Plato
    “You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work, especially in the case of a young and tender thing; for that is the time at which the character is being formed and the desired impression is more readily taken....Shall we just carelessly allow children to hear any casual tales which may be devised by casual persons, and to receive into their minds ideas for the most part the very opposite of those which we should wish them to have when they are grown up?

    We cannot....Anything received into the mind at that age is likely to become indelible and unalterable; and therefore it is most important that the tales which the young first hear should be models of virtuous thoughts....”
    ― Plato, The Republic

    “Men aren't really complicated, Ana, honey. They are very simple, literal creatures. They usually mean what they say. And we spend hours trying to analyze what they've said - when really it's obvious. If I were you, I'd take him literally. That might help.”

    “In My Daughter's Eyes Lyrics
    In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
    I am strong and wise and I know no fear
    But the truth is plain to see
    She was sent to rescue me
    I see who I want to be
    In my daughter's eyes

    In my daughter's eyes
    Everyone is equal
    Darkness turns to light
    And the world is at peace
    This miracle God gave to me
    Gives me strength when I'm weak
    I find reason to believe
    In my daughter's eyes

    And when she wraps her hand around my finger
    Oh it puts a smile in my heart
    Everything becomes a little clearer
    I realize what life is all about

    It's hangin' on when your heart
    Is had enough
    It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up
    I've seen the light
    It's in my daughter's eyes

    In my daughter's eyes
    I can see the future
    A reflection of who I am
    And what we'll be
    And though she'll grow and someday leave
    Maybe raise a family
    When I'm gone
    I hope you'll see
    How happy she made me
    For I'll be there
    In my daughter's eyes”

    George R.R. Martin
    “All that Syrio Forel had taught her went racing through her head. Swift as a deer. Quiet as shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. The man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords.”
    ― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

    “The rich did not care who ruled, as long as they were allowed to be rich. The poor could not afford to care and nobody asked their opinion in any case. Only the middle class mattered and any half-witted ruler knows how to pamper them.”
