The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister
He may be an imp in the landscape of Westeros, but the wits of Tyrion Lannister have gained him quite the fandom. It’s only fair the George R.R. Martin have a book made especially to highlight and elaborate The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister.
A few quotes from the book:
ON BEING A DWARF
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.

ON THE POWER OF WORDS
When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you are only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
ON THE HUMAN CONDITION
Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what’s on the other side?
THE ART OF LYING
The best lies are seasoned with a bit of truth.
To be released in October, the book is currently available for pre-order at $12.92
