George R.R. Martin Quote

Tyrion stared up at his father's hard green eyes with their flecks of cold bright gold. Guilty, he said, so guilty. Is that what you want to hear?Lord Tywin said nothing. Mace Tyrell nodded. Prince Oberyn looked mildly disappointed. You admit you poisoned the king?Nothing of the sort, said Tyrion. Of Joffrey's death I am innocent. I am guilty of a more monstrous crime. He took a step toward his father. I was born. I lived. I am guilty of being a dwarf, I confess it. And no matter how many times my good father forgave me, I have persisted in my infamy.
