'The Game Of Thrones' is a TV drama series adapted from a series of epic fantasy novels named 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' by George R. R. Martin.

The TV series has been created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss for HBO. Among all the characters appearing through the seasons of the show, Arya Stark is one of the most daunting and courageous and it shows in all her quotes.

Arya is the daughter of Ned Stark, the Lord of Winterfell, a fortress in the Northern fringe of the fictitious continent of Westeros. Arya Stark's character is portrayed by actress Maisie Williams.

Throughout the eight seasons, Arya's odyssey makes her emerge as one of the headstrong, independent, and gutsy characters who engage in sword fighting with men and scorns everything that's traditionally considered to be pursuits of women.

Her character is in stark contrast with her elder sister Sansa, but despite their differences, Arya's concern for her family and loved ones makes her take on the undead and kill the Night King after Bran allured him into a weirwood forest.

Even though Arya and Jon were supposed to fall in love in the original storyline, he is her half-brother in the final and actual version of the books and the show.

It's Jon who gifts her the sword "Needle."

If you're a viewer of the show or someone who's been reading the stories of Martin's novels, one of the things you'll like the most is Arya's character. So, here are some of the most memorable and the best Arya Stark quotes that everyone can appreciate.
