Line 54:
** The only honest compliment that Ned can give Robert about his reign was that he was a better king than [[The Caligula|his predecessor]].
*** The sad thing is that going fourteen years with only one minor, easily-won war and only a moderate economic crisis puts Robert solidly into the top 25% of Westerosi kings.
* In the ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'', the recently-widowed Ekaterin Vorsoisson is being questioned by the authorities about the recent death of her husband and, given that their relationship was (to put it charitably) highly strained prior to his death is challenged by her interrogator if she ever admired anything about her husband at all.
{{Quote|'''Ekaterin:''' He never hit me, you know.
'''Miles Vorkosigan:''' (thinking to himself) ''When I go down into the ground at last, I pray my best-beloved may have better to say of me than 'He didn't hit me'.''}}
