War is just politics by other means.
War does not know family bonds nor friendly sentiments.
This war will not be won with dragons alone, but with dragons flying behind armies of men.
There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin. And no war so bloody as a war between dragons.[to Rhaenyra]
There are two forces that have always been at war with each other. Those who repress, who command, who don’t want us to be conscious, enquiring beings, and those who want us to know more, to be stronger and wiser, to explore.
The war does not end when people put down their guns. It ends when they reconcile. Until then, the war has only paused.[quoting Michael Souther]
The thing about war is, it’s just bad for business. And when you got a bull’s-eye on your back, your rivals get bold.
The first rule of war and business is to know your enemy.
That war brings risk should come at no surprise.
Sometimes, in war, the terrible choice is the only choice.
Sometimes in war you got to do a bad thing to do good.
Some wars are necessary.
