Life Quote by George R.R. Martin
““Do you mean to spend your whole life running away?" Tyrion asked before she could slip back out the door. That stopped her. Her cheeks turned a bright pink, and he was afraid she was about to start weeping again. Instead she thrust out her lip defiantly and said, "You're running too." "I am," he confessed. "but I am running TO and you are running FROM, and there's a world of difference there.””
