Quote #7
[Arya] was alone with the dead men. They deserved to die, Arya told herself, remembering all those Ser Amory had killed at the holdfast by the lake. (48.Arya.168)
Arya's path to power is a little more direct than other types of social power we've been considering—hers comes from a law of kill-or-be-killed. And kill she will.
Quote #8
"To lead men you must know them, Jon Snow. I know more of you now than I did this morning."
"And if I had slain her?" asked Jon.
"She would be dead, and I would know you better than I had before. But enough talk. You ought be sleeping. We have leagues to go, and dangers to face. You will need your strength." (54.Jon.29-31)
Qhorin understands that Jon will be a leader among the Night's Watch one day, so he's teaching him how to wield that power properly. Here's hoping Jon is taking notes.
Quote #9
That shamed them well enough. A knight mounted, helmetless, and rode to join the others. A pair of sellswords followed. Then more. The King's Gate shuddered again. In a few moments the size of Tyrion's command had doubled. He had them trapped. If I fight, they must do the same, or they are less than dwarfs. (60.Tyrion.38)
Being a dwarf has led Tyrion to lack power in the arm wrestling or sword fighting departments. But his ability to read and understand people has given him a power to motivate others to act as he wants. In other words, in not possessing one type of power, Tyrion has developed another.
