I do see the beauty in the rules, the invisible code of chaos hiding behind the menacing face of order.
Chaos theory isn’t exactly about chaos. It’s about how a tiny change in a big system can affect everything.
Without God, there’s no structure, no order. With no one at the wheel, we hit the rocks, it’s chaos.
Whether you believe in order or chaos, in the end, it’s the same. We are either in control of our lives, or merely think we are.
There is no such thing as control. There is only chaos.
The problem, Bernard, is that what you and I do is so complicated. We practice witchcraft. We speak the right words. Then we create life itself… out of chaos.
Magic is organizing chaos. And while oceans of mystery remain, we have deduced that this requires two things. Balance and control. Without them, chaos will kill you.
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.
When we lose our principles, we invite chaos.
What you call chaos, I call opportunity.
What I’m best at… cause some chaos.[Roger Parslow: What will you do?]
Chaos. A most wonderful weapon. Only takes a little push to upend the cart.
