# Quote — George RR Martin, A Storm of Swords

> It's better if he's scared of me, she told herself. That way he'll do like I say, instead of something stupid.She should be more frightened herself, she knew. She was only ten, a skinny girl on a stolen horse with a dark forest ahead of her and men behind her who would gladly cut off her feet. Yet somehow she felt calmer here than she ever had at Herrenhal.
