“Softly, or not at all.”

“Cold and damp- that’s how the Southerners view the North. But without the cold, a man can’t appreciate the fire in his hearth. Without the rain, a man can’t appreciate the roof over his head.

Let the South have its sun, flowers, and affectations.

We Northerners have home.”

Jon Snow, in Histories & Lore “The North”
