{{Quote|'''Griff''': There is blood between [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] and [[House Lannister|Lannister]]. Why would you support the cause of Queen [[Daenerys Targaryen|Daenerys]]?<br>'''Tyrion''': For [[gold]] and glory. Oh, and hate. If you had ever met [[Cersei Lannister|my sister]], you would understand.<br>'''Griff''': I understand hate well enough.{{Ref|ADWD|8}}|"Griff" and [[Tyrion Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|Seventeen years had come and gone since the [[Battle of the Bells]], yet the sound of bells ringing still tied a knot in his guts. Others might claim that the realm was lost when Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen|Rhaegar]] fell to [[Robert's warhammer]] on the [[Trident]], but the [[Battle of the Trident]] would never have been fought if the griffin had only slain the stag there in [[Stoney Sept]]. ''The bells tolled for all of us that day. For [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys]] and [[Rhaella Targaryen|his queen]], for [[Elia Martell|Elia]] of [[Dorne]] and [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Rhaegar)|her little daughter]], for every true man and honest woman in the [[Seven Kingdoms]]. And for my silver prince''.{{ref|ADWD|24}}|Jon's thoughts}}

{{Quote|The road ahead was full of perils, he knew, but what of it? All men must die. All he asked was time. He had waited so long, surely the gods would grant him a few more years, enough time to see [[Aegon Targaryen (Young Griff)|the boy]] he'd called a son seated on the [[Iron Throne]]. To reclaim [[Griffin's Roost|his lands]], his name, his honor. To still [[Battle of the Bells|the bells]] that rang so loudly in his dreams whenever he closed his eyes to sleep.{{ref|ADWD|24}}|Jon's thoughts}}

{{quote|''[[Greyscale|Death]]'', he knew, ''but slow. I still have time. A year. Two years. Five. Some [[stone men]] live for ten. Time enough to cross [[narrow sea|the sea]], to see [[Griffin's Roost]] again. To end the [[House Baratheon of King's Landing|Usurper's line]] for good and all, and put [[Aegon Targaryen (Young Griff)|Rhaegar's son]] upon the [[Iron Throne]].''{{ref|ADWD|24}}|Jon's thoughts}}

{{Quote|[[Griffin's Roost]] ''had'' been his, eventually, if only for a few short years. From here, Jon Connington had ruled broad lands extending many leagues to the west, north, and south, just as [[Armond Connington|his father]] and his father's father had before him. But his father and his father's father had never lost their lands. He had. ''I rose too high, loved too hard, dared too much. I tried to grasp a star, overreached, and fell''.{{ref|ADWD|61}}|Jon's thoughts}}

{{Quote|I failed [[Rhaegar Targaryen|the father]], but I will not fail [[Aegon Targaryen (Young Griff)|the son]].{{ref|ADWD|61}}|Jon to himself}}
