Tywin Lannister: Your mother’s dead. Before long I’ll be dead, and you and your brother and your sister and all of her children, all of us dead, all of us rotting underground. It’s the family name that lives on. It’s all that lives on. Not your personal glory, not your honor… but family. You understand?
[Jaime nods quietly. Tywin thrusts the knife at the table and wipes his hands clean with a cloth]
Tywin Lannister: You’re blessed with abilities that few men possess. You’re blessed to belong to the most powerful family in the kingdoms. And you’re still blessed with youth. And what have you done with these blessings, eh? You served as a glorified bodyguard for two kings… one a mad man, the other a drunk.—————

The future of our family will be determined in these next few months. We could establish a dynasty that would last a thousand years… or we could collapse into nothing, as the Targaryens did.
Interesting that Stannis’s Hand Davos had the princess Shireen write to the Iron Bank of Bravos on behalf of Stannis. What will the Iron Bank think when the letter from Stannis has all the lowercase “i”s dotted with hearts?
