its easy to confuse what is with what should be

Tyrion Lannister is possibly the most beloved Game of Thrones character. If non the choice favorite, he'due south in anybody's top three. He is incredibly intelligent, and able to work his way out of most conundrums. And when he doesn't win, he still always has the last laugh with his cutting wit. Total of joie-de-vivre, he lives life to the fullest, and tries to be good despite his unredeemable family. However, his terrible family does make it almost impossible for him to be wholly good, and he does have moments where he dips into the dark side. Only this season, information technology looks like expert onetime Tyrion is dorsum with a vengeance, and a vengeful goal.

one. On accepting oneself

"Never forget what you are, the residue of the world will non. Wearable it like armor and it can never exist used to hurt yous."

When Tyrion meets Jon Snow in the series premiere, Jon Snow is actress pouty for not existence invited to the feast. Tyrion meets the fellow outcast, and asks him if he's Eddard Stark's bastard. When Jon Snow tries to brim the issue, Tyrion gives him bully communication on owning what others would mock you for.

2. On death versus a weakened life

"I have to disagree. Death is so final, yet life is full of possibilities."

After Jamie throws Bran out of the window and puts him in a blackout, Cersei tries to hide her badgerer by saying that it would exist more of a mercy for the kid to die. With his response, Tyrion both manages to annoy Cersei and impart his deep wisdom.

three. On literature

"A heed needs books like a sword needs a whetstone."

On the way to the wall, Jon Snow furrows his forehead, confused as to why Tyrion is always reading. He basically gives him the all-time justification of 'brains over brawn.'

4. On going out of his fashion to assist Bran

"I have a tender spot in my eye for cripples and bastards and broken things."

Tyrion gets a bad rap because his father, sis, blood brother, nephew, cousin (demand I keep?) are so monstrous. But he'southward actually a pretty thoughtful guy, as he demonstrates to the Starks when he brings Bran a design for a saddle that will permit him to ride again.

5. On schooling Joffrey

"We've had vicious kings and we've had idiot kings, simply I don't know if we've ever been cursed with a vicious idiot boy male monarch!"

In Season Two, after Myrcella is sent off to Dorne from Rex'due south Landing, the citizens limited their just hatred of Joffrey, by throwing dung at him. He, of course, responds by ordering to have them killed, escalating the situation across command. Tyrion captures just how
unworthy of the throne Joffrey is.

vi. Delicately describing Joffrey's bad behavior to Cersei.

"It'south difficult to put a leash on a dog once yous've put a crown on its caput."

Cersei loves her bad boy, Joff, but she isn't blind to his flaws. In a rare moment where these two siblings put their hate aside, Tyrion tries to requite her some parental advice—it doesn't assistance.

7. On his friendship with Bronn

"Of course nosotros are. Just because I pay yous for your services doesn't diminish our friendship."

Earlier the Battle of the Blackwater, Tyrion hopes Bronn will brand it out live, and Bronn is moved. Their bromance is one of the best parts of the show.

viii. The perfect justification for knowing yet some other prostitute.

"I try to know every bit many people equally I tin can. Y'all never know which one you'll need."

Shae asks Tyrion how he knows Ros, and Tyrion gives her an answer that is both true, and at the same time displays his Macchiavellian listen.

9. Assuring his dear sometime dad that he is ready to perform his duty.

"Drinking and lust. No man can friction match me in these things. I am the god of tits and wine… I shall build a shrine to myself at the side by side brothel I visit."

Later marrying Sansa, and taking his advice from episode ane, Tyrion does not hide who he is.

10. Putting Joffrey in his place, once once more.

"Oh, "monster." Perhaps yous should speak to me more softly and then. Monsters are dangerous and, just now, kings are dying like flies."

After Robb Stark is murdered and Tywin Lannister announces information technology to the modest quango, Joffrey gloats, while Tyrion is more subdued. The two go into an atmospherics, and Joffrey calls him a monster. True to the insult, Tyrion is able to terrify him with words alone.

xi. Instruction Pod a life lesson.

"Information technology's not easy being drunkard all the fourth dimension. If information technology were easy, everyone would do it."

Tyrion tries to get Pod to drink every bit much as he does, only poor Pod just doesn't have the stamina.

12. On war crimes.

"Every time we deal with an enemy, we create two more."

At the stop of Season Three, Tyrion is over again trying to observe mutual ground with Cersei. He tries to reason with her (which he should know is pointless), and she simply replies that the war will get on for a very long fourth dimension.

thirteen. Afterwards his trial, on the prospect of death.

"Of course it'southward a joke, just not a very funny one."

Tyrion stands wrongly accused of murdering Joff—even though no one could really blame him if he had—and notwithstanding finds time for humor when death is in sight.

fourteen. Throwing some sly shade at Daario.

"In my feel eloquent men are correct as as frequently as imbeciles."

In Flavour V, Tyrion watches the brutality of the fighting pits in Mereen. Hizdahr eloquently and even somewhat rationally justifies the entertaining violence, and Tyrion delivers this biting remark.

15. On one'due south perspective in life.

"It's easy to confuse 'what is' with 'what ought to exist,' especially when 'what is' has worked out in your favor."

In that same conversation with Daario, he impresses Daenerys with his wisdom.
