==Quotes by the High Sparrow==
{{Quote|These are the [[bone]]s of holy men, murdered for their faith. They served the Seven even unto death. Some starved, some were [[torture]]d. [[Sept]]s have been despoiled, maidens and mothers raped by godless men and [[demon]] worshipers. Even [[silent sisters]] have been molested. Our [[Mother Above]] cries out in her anguish. It is time for all anointed [[knight]]s to forsake their worldly masters and defend our [[Faith of the Seven|Holy Faith]]. Come with us to [[King's Landing|the city]], if you love the Seven.{{Ref|AFFC|4}}|thin septon to [[Creighton Longbough]], [[Illifer the Penniless]], and [[Brienne Tarth|Brienne of Tarth]]}}

{{Quote|'''Cersei''': Septon [[Raynard]]? What are you doing on your knees?<br>
'''High Sparrow''': He is cleaning the floor. Work is a form of prayer, most pleasing to [[Smith (the Seven)|the Smith]].{{Ref|AFFC|28}}|[[Cersei Lannister]] and the High Sparrow}}

{{Quote|'''Cersei''': [[Tywin Lannister|My lord father]] gave [[High Septon (Tyrion's)|your predecessor]] a [[crown]] of rare beauty, wrought in crystal and spun [[gold]].<br>
'''High Sparrow''': And for that gift we honor him in our prayers, but the poor need food in their bellies more than we need gold and crystal on our head. That crown has been sold. So have the others in our vaults, and all our rings, and our robes of [[cloth-of-gold]] and [[cloth-of-silver]]. Wool will keep a man as warm. That is why [[Faith of the Seven|the Seven]] gave us sheep.{{Ref|AFFC|28}}|[[Cersei Lannister]] and the High Sparrow}}

{{Quote|'''High Sparrow''': This debt shall be forgiven, and King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]] will have his blessing. The [[Warrior's Sons]] shall escort me to him, shining in the glory of their [[Faith of the Seven|Faith]], whilst my [[sparrows]] go forth to defend the meek and humble of the land, reborn as [[Poor Fellows]] as of old.<br>
'''Cersei''': I shall have the papers drawn up, and His Grace will sign them and affix them with the royal seal.<br>
'''High Sparrow''': Seven save His Grace. Long may he reign. Let the wicked tremble!{{ref|AFFC|28}}|The High Sparrow and [[Cersei Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|There can be no penance without pain. No man should spare himself the scourge, as I told Ser [[Osney Kettleblack|Osney]]. I seldom feel so close to [[Faith of the Seven|god]] as when I am being whipped for mine own wickedness, though my darkest sins are no wise near as black as his.{{ref|AFFC|43}}|The High Sparrow to [[Cersei Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|'''Cersei''': [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] loves his [[Margaery Tyrell|little queen]] so much, Your Holiness, I fear it might be hard for him or his lords to judge her justly. Perhaps the Faith should conduct the trial?<br>'''High Sparrow''': I have had the selfsame thought, Your Grace. Just as [[Maegor the Cruel]] once took the [[Faith Militant|swords]] from the Faith, so [[Jaehaerys the Conciliator]] deprived us of the scales of judgment. Yet who is truly fit to judge a queen, save the Seven Above and the godsworn below? A sacred court of seven judges shall sit upon this case. Three shall be of your female sex. A maiden, a mother, and a crone. Who could be more suited to judge the wickedness of women?{{ref|AFFC|43}}|[[Cersei Lannister]] and the High Sparrow}}

{{Quote|'''High Sparrow''': These are common sins. The wickedness of widows is well-known, and all women are wantons at heart, given to using their wiles and their beauty to work their wills on men. There is no treason here, so long as you did not stray from your marriage bed whilst His Grace King [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert]] was still alive.<br>
'''Cersei''': Never. Never, I swear it.{{ref|ADWD|54}}|The High Sparrow and [[Cersei Lannister]]}}

{{Quote|'''Cersei''': I have confessed—<br>
'''High Sparrow''': —to certain sins, aye. Others you deny. Your trial will separate the truths from the falsehoods. I shall ask [[Faith of the Seven|the Seven]] to forgive the sins you have confessed and pray that you be found innocent of these other accusations.{{ref|ADWD|54}}|[[Cersei Lannister]] and the High Sparrow}}
