==Quotes== [[File:Castle black.jpg|thumb|350px|Castle Black and the [[Wall]] in ''[[Game of Thrones]]'']] {{quote|'''Lothor''': We do what we can, Your Grace, but our beds are hard, our halls are cold, and our foodβ<br>'''Alysanne''': βis nourishing. And that is all that I require. It will please me to eat as you do.{{ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}}|[[Lothor Burley]] and [[Alysanne Targaryen]]}} {{quote|There was scant warmth to be found in Castle Black; the walls were cold here, and the people colder.{{ref|AGOT|19}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}} {{quote|Castle Black lay below him, etched in [[moon]]light. You could see how stark and empty it was from up here; windowless keeps, crumbling walls, courtyards choked with broken stone. Farther off, he could see the lights of [[Mole's Town]], the little village half a league south along the [[kingsroad]], and here and there the bright glitter of moonlight on water where icy streams descended from the mountain heights to cut across the plains.{{ref|AGOT|21}}|thoughts of [[Tyrion Lannister]]}} {{quote|How fine that would be, to wake back on the [[Fist of the First Men]] with all his brothers still around him, even [[Jon Snow|Jon]] and [[Ghost]]. Or even better, to wake in Castle Black behind the [[Wall]] and go to the [[common hall|common room]] for a bowl of [[Three-Finger Hobb]]'s thick cream of wheat, with a big spoon of butter melting in the middle and a dollop of [[honey]] besides. Just the thought of it made his empty stomach rumble.{{ref|ASOS|33}}|thoughts of [[Samwell Tarly]]}} {{quote|Castle Black had no defenses, but for the [[Wall]] itself. It lacked even wooden palisades or earthen dikes. The "castle" was nothing more than a cluster of towers and keeps, two-thirds of them falling into ruin.{{ref|ASOS|41}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}} {{quote|As much as he had once hated Castle Black, it was tearing him apart to leave it.{{ref|AFFC|5}}|thoughts of [[Samwell Tarly]]}} {{quote|For as long as he had known it, Castle Black had been a place of silence and shadows, where a meagre company of [[Night's Watch|men in black]] moved like [[ghosts]] amongst the ruins of a fortress that had once housed ten times their numbers. All that had changed. Lights now shone through windows where Jon Snow had never seen lights shine before. Strange voices echoed down the yards, and [[free folk]] were coming and going along icy paths that had only known the black boots of crows for years.{{ref|ADWD|58}}|thoughts of [[Jon Snow]]}}
