Quotes 

• Syrio Forel : [to Arya]  All men are made of water, do you know this? If you pierce them, the water leaks out and they die.

• Arya Stark : I'm a girl.

  Syrio Forel : Boy, girl... You are a sword, that is all. That is the grip. You are not holding a battle-axe. You are holding...

  Arya Stark : A needle.

• Syrio Forel : You are skinny. That is good. The target is smaller. Now the grip, let me see.

  [inspecting how she holds the handle] 

  Syrio Forel : Yes. The grip must be delicate.

  Arya Stark : What if I drop it?

  Syrio Forel : The steel must be part of your arm. Can you drop part of your arm? No. Nine years Syrio Forel was first sword to the Sealord of Braavos. He knows these things.

• Syrio Forel : You are late, boy. Tomorrow, you will be here at midday.

  Arya Stark : Who are you?

  Syrio Forel : Your dancing master, Syrio Forel.

  [Syrio tosses a wooden sword to Arya; trying to catch it, it clatters to the ground] 

  Syrio Forel : Tomorrow, you will catch it. Now pick it up.

  [Arya complies] 

  Syrio Forel : That is not the way, boy. This is not a greatsword that is needing two hands to swing it.

  [Arya tries to hold it one-handed] 

  Arya Stark : It's too heavy.

  Syrio Forel : It is heavy as it needs to be to make you strong.

  [Syrio balances his own sword on his hand] 

  Syrio Forel : Just so. One hand is all that is needed.
