George R.R. Martin Quote

You cheated, she said hotly. You said left and you went right. Just so. And now you are a dead girl. But you My words lied. My eyes and my arm shouted out the truth, but you were not seeing. I was so, Arya said. I watched you every second! Watching is not seeing, dead girl. The water dancer sees. Come, put down the sword, it is time for listening now.
