SANSA STARK & BRAN STARK: the death of idealism (inspo)
“Life is not a song, sweetling,” he'd told her. “You may learn that one day to your sorrow.” In life, the monsters win, she told herself, and now it was the Hound's voice she heard, a cold rasp, metal on stone. ― AGOT - Sansa VI
And now he could not climb, nor walk nor run nor swordfight, and the dreams he'd dreamed of knighthood had soured in his head. ― ACOK - Bran I
