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.

——Game of Thrones

混亂不是深淵?；靵y是階梯。很多人想往上爬，卻失敗了，且永無機會再試。他們墜落而亡。有些人本有機會攀爬，但他們拒絕了。他們守著王國，守著諸神，守著愛情——盡皆幻象。唯有階梯真實存在，攀爬才是生活的全部。

——《權(quán)力的游戲》
