It doesn't matter that much, but I'm pretty sure that line is original to the HBO series, not to the books.

(Not my downvotes, incidentally, but I'd speculate they come from a desire to separate rationality from anti-deathism.)

It's not from the TV series either.

The TV series quote would be this: "There is only one God. And his name is Death. And there is only thing we say to Death: 'Not today'."

Basically the grandparent post seems to be just a quote from memory, combining bits and pieces from both places, accurate to neither.

I could've sworn it was from both of them, and, thus, from the books originally...
