With "Game of Thrones" George R.R. Martin crafted a universe full of (tons and tons and tons) complicated and complex characters. Many of the main characters have strong, individualized voices and even out of context, almost any quote can be quickly placed to its speaker. In a world of dozens of characters that is no small feat. Cersei Lannister certainly has a way with words, and is often downright mean.
Cersei Lannister is the daughter of Tywin, older twin brother and sometimes lover of Jaime Lannister, Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms. She is cruel, manipulative and will stop at nothing to get her way. Her cunning and intelligent tongue yields her many great quotes throughout the series.
