What fantasy show is this quote from?

“We are but pawns on a chessboard too large to see the edges ”

I remember hearing this from a show a few years back. I'm fairly certain it was from a fantasy/medieval setting; my first guess was Tywin Lannister from the Game of Thrones TV show. All my google search results, even with lots of variations (ie. pieces instead of pawns, end instead of edge) have turned up nothing. I often remember hearing things that I actually read, so it's possible it's from a book.
