Cersei on Feeling Good
“I do things because they feel good. I drink because it feels good. I killed my husband because it felt good to be rid of him. I fuck my brother because it feels good to feel him inside me. I lie about fucking my brother because it feels good keeping our son safe from hateful hypocrites. I killed your High Sparrow and all his little sparrows, all his septons, and all his septas, all his filthy soldiers because it felt good to watch them burn. It felt good to imagine their shock and their pain. No thought has ever given me greater joy.”
Cersei’s revenge on Septa Unella is basically one long, great quote. But it’s her confession that really burns the house down. Only Cersei could torture someone by telling that person exactly what they always wanted to hear.
