16 Badass Arya Stark Quotes From 'Game Of Thrones'

 Arya Stark has long been a favorite character for 'Game of Thrones' fans and it's easy to see why. The youngest daughter of the late Ned Stark has a sharp mind and a tongue to match. In a show where female characters are often downtrodden, Arya, portrayed by actress Maisie Williams, has always stood out as a powerful and independent figure, even as a young girl.

 Of course, as Tywin Lannister once noticed, Arya can also sometimes be too smart for her own good. That description rang true at the end of Season 5, as Arya went blind in the House of Black and White as a punishment following her quest for revenge in Braavos. But if history is any indication, don't expect this latest hardship to keep Arya down for long once 'Game of Thrones' Season 6 premieres on April 24. 
Here are 16 of Arya Stark's best quotes from 'Game of Thrones'.
