"Cuando los muertos vienen a cazar en la noche piensas que importa quién se siente en el Trono de Hierro"
— George R.R. Martin
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine it's nighttime and a big danger is coming towards you. This danger is so serious and life-threatening that it doesn't really matter who is in charge or who has the biggest title or the most power. All that matters is dealing with the danger and staying safe. For example, think about a natural disaster like a tornado. When a tornado is coming, people are not worried about fighting over who is the leader of their town. They just want to find shelter and make sure everybody is okay. In this way, it's clear that some situations are so critical that our usual concerns about power or status become unimportant. What's important is survival and taking care of the immediate danger. This idea can help people focus on what really matters in times of crisis, rather than getting caught up in less important issues.
