Welcome to the appreciation thread for our beloved (or 'beloved';))
the one & only Tywin Lannister (aka Hand of the King, Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Savior of the City) and the man who perfectly embodied him onscreen - Charles Dance !:clap:

Papa Quotes

Quote:

TYWIN LANNISTER
I don't care if you hanged a hundred. A man tried to kill me. I want his name and I want his head.

Quote:

TYWIN LANNISTER
A lion doesn't concern himself with the opinion of a sheep.

Quote:

TYWIN LANNISTER
I suppose I should be grateful that your vanity got in the way of your recklessness. I'm giving you half of our forces. 30,000 men. And we'll bring that to Catelyn Stark's girlhood home, and remind her that Lannisters pay their debts.
JAIME LANNISTER
[slightly surprised] I didn't realize you place such a high value on my brother's life.
TYWIN LANNISTER
[snickers] He's a Lannister! Maybe the lowest of the Lannisters, but he's one of us. And everyday that he remains a prisoner, the less our name commands respect.

Quote:

TYWIN LANNISTER
This'll be my last war... win or lose.
ARYA STARK
Have you ever lost before?
TYWIN LANNISTER
You think I'd be in my position if I'd lost a war?

Quote:

TYWIN LANNISTER
It's the family name that lives on. That's all that lives on. Not your personal glory, not your honor, but family.

Quote:

Tywin: Your brother is dead. Do you know what that means? I’m not trying to trick you.
Tommen: It means I’ll become king.
Tywin: Yes, you will become king. What kind of king do you think you’ll be?
Tommen: A good king?
Tywin: Hm, I think so as well. You’ve got the right temperament for it. But what makes a good king? Hmm? What is a good king’s single most important quality?
Tommen: Holiness?
Tywin: Hmm. Baelor the Blessed was holy. And pious. He built this sept. He also named a six-year-old boy High Septon because he thought the boy could work miracles. He ended up fasting himself into an early grave because “food was of this world, and this world was sinful”.
Tommen: Justice?
Tywin:A good king must be just. Orys I was just. Everyone applauded his reforms, nobles and commoners alike. He was murdered in his sleep after less than a year, by his own brother. Was that truly just of him, to abandon his subjects to an evil he was too gullible to recognize?
Tommen: No.
Tywin: No.
Tommen: What about strength?
Tywin: Yes. Strength. King Robert was strong. He won the rebellion and crushed the Targaryen Dynasty. And he attended three small council meetings in seventeen years. He spent his time whoring, and hunting and drinking… until the last two killed him. So, we have a man who starves himself to death; a man who lets his own brother murder him; and a man who thinks that winning and ruling are the same thing. What do they all lack?
Tommen: Wisdom!
Tywin: Yes!
Tommen: Wisdom is what makes a good king!
