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. Lord Petyr Baelish, or Littlefinger, is a sneaky brothel owner, with lots of clever quotes.
Lord Baelish was also the treasurer to the king (Master of Coin), and is a brilliantly deceptive man who uses his ownership of many King's Landing brothels to gain intelligence for political gain. Being such a cunning man, with ties to almost every character, he has a lot to say, and Lord Baelish quotes are usually linguistically clever and tricky.

Re: Peace
"We only make peace with our enemies, my lord. That's why it's called 'making peace.'"
Re: Trust

Re: Loyalty
"When the queen proclaims one king and the king's Hand proclaims another, whose peace do the Gold Cloaks protect? Who do they follow? The man who pays them."
Job Requirements
"I'm a purveyor of beauty and discretion, both equally important."
Friendship
"And not long after that, when I saw you escorting a certain... foreign dignitary... council business? Of course, you would have friends from across the narrow sea. You're from there yourself. After all, we're friends, aren't we, Lord Varys? I'd like to think we are. So you can imagine my burden, wondering if the king might question my friend's sympathies, to stand at a crossroads where turning left means loyalty to a friend, turning right, loyalty to the realm..."
