The famous riddle from Varys the Spider to Tyrion about power:
"Shall I leave you with a riddle, Lord Tyrion?
In a room, there are three men of great importance: a king, a priest, and a rich man.
In front of them stands a sellsword, a man of no importance, of low birth and dull mind.
Each of the great ones wants him to kill the others.
'Kill them,' says the king, 'for I am your lawful ruler.'
'Kill them,' says the priest, 'for I command you in the name of the gods.'
'Kill them,' says the rich man, 'and all this gold shall be yours.'
So tell me... who lives and who dies?
{....} After several weeks {....}
'I’ve been pondering it,' admitted Tyrion.
'The king, the priest, the rich man... who lives and who dies? Whom does the swordsman obey?
It’s a riddle without an answer; or rather, too many answers.
It all depends on the nature of the man with the sword.'
'But in truth, the man with the sword has no power,' Varys pointed out.
'He has neither crown nor gold, nor the favor of the gods.'"
