About this quote

Sansa Stark remembers this saying of her father Eddard in A Game of Thrones (1996) by George R.R. Martin, and it becomes a recurring theme of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The lone wolf metaphor runs throughout the Stark storyline: the family's repeated separations over the course of the saga test the proverb's truth, as each Stark child struggles alone while the family's survival depends on their eventual reunion.
