==Quotes== {{quote|One day I mean to live in a castle. I hope to win a place above the salt before I'm done.{{ref|TSS}}|[[Duncan the Tall|Dunk]] to [[Aegon Targaryen|Egg]]}} {{quote|If truth be told, I prefer a good inn. Castles cost too much to maintain.{{ref|TMK}}|[[Uthor Underleaf]] to [[Duncan the Tall]]}} {{quote|'''Arya''': I wish you were coming with us.<br>'''Jon''': Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.{{ref|AGOT|10}}|[[Arya Stark]] and [[Jon Snow]]}} {{quote|[[Dothraki|The riders]] have no taste for siegecraft. I doubt they could take even the weakest castle in the [[Seven Kingdoms]], but if [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] were fool enough to give them battle ...{{ref|AGOT|36}}|[[Jorah Mormont]] to [[Daenerys Targaryen]]}} {{quote|The royal apartments were in [[Maegor's Holdfast]], a massive square fortress that nestled in the heart of the [[Red Keep]] behind walls twelve feet thick and a dry moat lined with [[iron]] spikes, a castle-within-a-castle.{{ref|AGOT|47}}|thoughts of [[Eddard Stark]]}} {{quote|A castle must have towers wherever two walls meet at an angle, for defense.{{ref|ACOK|Prologue}}|[[Cressen]] to [[Shireen Baratheon]]}} {{quote|[[Harrenhal]] was deceptive from afar, because it was so huge. Its colossal curtain walls rose beside [[Gods Eye|the lake]], sheer and sudden as mountain cliffs, while atop their battlements the rows of wood-and-iron [[scorpion (weapon)|scorpions]] looked as small as [[scorpion|the bugs]] for which they were named.{{ref|ACOK|26}}|thoughts of [[Arya Stark]]}} {{quote|'''Daenerys''': I have not forgotten [[Westeros]]. If I let [[Meereen]]'s old brick walls defeat me so easily, though, how will I ever take the great stone castles of Westeros?<br>'''Jorah''': As [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon]] did, with [[dragonflame|fire]].{{ref|ASOS|57}}|[[Daenerys Targaryen]] and [[Jorah Mormont]]}} {{quote|'''Brienne''': Your door is very pretty. What castle is that meant to be?<br>'''Captain's sister''': All castles. The only one I know is the [[Dun Fort]] by the harbor. I made t'other in my head, what a castle ought to look like.{{Ref|AFFC|9}}|[[Brienne Tarth]] and the [[captain's sister]]}} {{quote|The castle was built of old, unmortared stones, no two the same. [[Moss]] grew thick in clefts between the rocks, and trees were growing up from the foundations. Most old castles had a [[godswood]]. By the look of it, the [[Whispers]] had little else.{{ref|AFFC|20}}|thoughts of [[Brienne Tarth]]}} {{quote|'''Stannis''': A strong castle weakly held is weak.<br>'''Jon''': Fifty men inside a castle are worth five hundred outside.{{ref|ADWD|17}}|[[Stannis Baratheon]] and [[Jon Snow]]}}
