George R.R. Martin Quote

Jon hung a quiver from his belt and pulled an arrow. The shaft was black, the fletching grey. As he notched it to his string, he remembered something that Theon Greyjoy had once said after a hunt. The boar can keep his tusks and the bear his claws, he had declared, smiling that way he did. There's nothing half so mortal as a grey goose feather.
