Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder.

Game of Thrones Quotes

Petyr Baelish: A story we agree to tell each other over and over till we forget that it’s a lie.

Varys: But what do we have left once we abandon the lie? Chaos. A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.

Petyr Baelish: Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
