"Tywin Lannister would have done anything to secure a place on the throne for his family, and now that his family has that place, they will do anything to keep it.

A place he had tended to so carefully over the years, that had been minded by his family for generations. Thinking that the Starks failed in their duty is almost as bad as thinking of his name tainted as a traitor.
"Then the future of Winterfell is up to you and Sansa."
