Oberyn Martell

"Gods, how exhausting humans can be. I come here to enjoy myself... wine, skin, warmth... and yet someone is trying to impose limits on me again, to preach morality to me or drag me into some courtly game, as if I weren’t already fed up with it, as if they had the slightest idea how little their rules have ever impressed me. They talk and talk... as if words could ever tame my decisions... I know what I want. I take what I desire, and I fear none of the men who are bothered by it. If only they knew how transparent their indignation is, how ridiculous their attempts to press me into a mold that pleases them... I am no courtly dog that sits on command. Let them talk... let them judge... I won't waste my time on their narrow mindedness. Life is short... and I have far better things to do than listen to their harmless threats. If they bore me, they should at least be quiet."
