In a perpetual sea of Sex and the City reruns and HGTV marathons, our love for Game of Thrones truly emerged like a diamond in the rough. Never before had a show about warring medieval factions even remotely captivated a sliver of our interest, and we began to actually look forward to Sunday evenings. Over the last seven seasons, we loved and we lost (RIP Hodor), and we bid adieu without so much as blinking an eye—just straight-up side-eye, Joffrey.

As we anxiously wait for next Sunday’s episode, here are ten of the most memorable Game of Thrones quotes scoured from the last seven kingdoms seasons.
