“Power resides where men believe it resides. It’s a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow.”

– George R. R. Martin, Lord Varys: Game of Thrones

“Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail & never get to try again. The fall breaks them and some are given a chance to climb, they cling to the real or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.”

– George R. R. Martin, Littlefinger, Baelish Game of Thrones
