George R.R. Martin Quote
I have been many things, Bran. Now I am as you see me, and now you will understand why I could not come to you … except in dreams. I have watched you for a long time, watched you with a thousand eyes and one. I saw your birth, and that of your lord father before you. I saw your first step, heard your first word, was part of your first dream. I was watching when you fell. And now you are come to me at last, Brandon Stark, though the hour is late. I’m here, Bran said, only I’m broken. Will you … will you fix me … my legs, I mean? No, said the pale lord. That is beyond my powers. Bran’s eyes filled with tears. We came such a long way. The chamber echoed to the sound of the black river. You will never walk again, Bran, the pale lips promised, but you will fly.
