Editing Wall (section)

==Quotes==
{{Quote|You could see it from miles off, a pale blue line across the northern horizon, stretching away to the east and west and vanishing in the far distance, immense and unbroken. ''This is the end of [[known world|the world]]'', it seemed to say.{{Ref|AGOT|19}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|Almost seven hundred feet high it stood, three times the height of the [[Lance (tower)|tallest tower]] in [[Castle Black|the stronghold]] it sheltered. [[Benjen Stark|His uncle]] said the top was wide enough for a dozen armored [[knight]]s to ride abreast. The gaunt outlines of huge catapults and monstrous wooden cranes stood sentry up there, like the skeletons of great birds, and among them walked [[Night's Watch|men in black]] as small as ants.{{Ref|AGOT|19}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|'''Jon''': I hate it here. It's too ... it's cold.<br>'''Donal''': Yes. Cold and hard and mean, that's the Wall, and [[Night's Watch|the men who walk it]]. Not like the stories [[Old Nan|your wet nurse]] told you. Well, piss on the stories and piss on your wet nurse. This is the way it is, and you're here for life, same as the rest of us.{{Ref|AGOT|19}}|[[Jon Snow]] and [[Donal Noye]]}}

{{Quote|He looked off to the east and west, at the Wall stretching before him, a vast white road with no beginning and no end and a dark abyss on either side.{{Ref|AGOT|21}}|thoughts of [[Tyrion Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|Sometimes it seemed to Jon almost a living thing, with moods of its own. The color of the ice was wont to change with every shift of the light. Now it was the deep blue of frozen rivers, now the dirty white of old snow, and when a cloud passed before the sun it darkened to the pale grey of pitted stone. The Wall stretched east and west as far as the eye could see, so huge that it shrunk the timbered keeps and stone towers of [[Castle Black|the castle]] to insignificance. It was the end of the world.{{Ref|ACOK|6}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|If the Wall should ever fall, all the fires will go out.{{Ref|ACOK|68}}|[[Qhorin Halfhand]] to [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|The Wall can stop an army, but not a man alone.{{Ref|ASOS|7}}|[[Mance Rayder]] to [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|And they've built a great wall through my valleys, and fished all the fish from my rills.{{Ref|ASOS|15}}|excerpt from "[[The Last of the Giants]]"}}

{{Quote|'''Ygritte''': I hate this Wall. Can you feel how cold it is?<br>'''Jon''': It's made of ice.<br>'''Ygritte''': You know nothing, Jon Snow. This wall is made o' blood.{{Ref|ASOS|30}}|[[Ygritte]] and [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|The [[Night's Watch]] has forgotten its true purpose, Tarly. You don't build a wall seven hundred feet high to keep savages in skins from stealing women. The Wall was made to guard the realms of men ... and not against other men, which is all the [[free folk|wildlings]] are when you come right down to it. Too many years, Tarly, too many hundreds and thousands of years. We lost sight of the [[Others|true enemy]].{{Ref|ASOS|33}}|[[Jeor Mormont]] to [[Samwell Tarly]]}}

{{Quote|'''Mance''': [[Raymun Redbeard]], [[Bael the Bard]], [[Gendel]] and [[Gorne]], the [[Horned Lord]], they all came south to conquer, but I've come with my tail between my legs to hide behind your Wall. If I sound the [[Horn of Winter]], the Wall will fall. Or so the songs would have me believe. There are those among [[free folk|my people]] who want nothing more ...<br>'''Dalla''': But once the Wall is fallen, what will stop the [[Others]]?{{Ref|ASOS|73}}|[[Mance Rayder]] and [[Dalla]] to [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|I have dreamed of your Wall, Jon Snow. Great was the lore that raised it, and great the [[magic|spells]] locked beneath its ice. We walk beneath one of the hinges of [[known world|the world]].{{Ref|ADWD|3}}|[[Melisandre]] to [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|Jon Snow glanced up at the Wall, towering over them like a cliff of ice. ''A hundred leagues from end to end, and seven hundred feet high''. The strength of the Wall was its height; the length of the Wall was its weakness. Jon remembered something [[Eddard Stark|his father]] had said once. ''A wall is only as strong as the men who stand behind it''. The men of the [[Night's Watch]] were brave enough, but they were far too few for the task that confronted them.{{Ref|ADWD|7}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}}

{{Quote|Winter is coming, and with it the [[Others|white walkers]]. The Wall is where we stop them. The Wall was ''made'' to stop them ... but the Wall must be manned.{{Ref|ADWD|53}}|[[Jon Snow]] to [[Bowen Marsh]]}}
