More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
The bond between true lovers is as close as we come to what endures forever.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I have never heard a dancer asking for advice about how to stay focused on her footwork, or a painter complaining about the dull day-to-day task of painting. What task worth doing isn't worth daily effort? Do you think Michelangelo was having fun the whole time he was on his back painting the Sistine Chapel's ceiling?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Go to bed tired is stupid.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Sanity returns (in most cases) when the book is closed.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Nobody who says, ‘I told you so’ has ever been, or will ever be, a hero.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There are no right answers to wrong questions.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I don't write tracts, I write novels. I'm not a preacher, I'm a fiction writer.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A person who believes, as she did, that things fit: that there is a whole of which one is a part, and that in being a part one is whole: such a person has no desire whatever, at any time, to play God. Only those who have denied their being yearn to play at it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Men who fight wars in winter don't live till spring.
Ursula K. Le Guin
You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Everything gives way before the recurring torment and festivity of passion.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Crankish attacks on the freedom to read are common at present. When backed and coordinated by organized groups, they become sinister.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In the airport, luggage-laden people rush hither and yon through endless corridors, like souls to each of whom the devil has furnished a different, inaccurate map of the escape route from hell.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There is no kingdom like the forests.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Statesmen remember things selectively.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Literacy is so you can read the operating instructions.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The same old hypocrisy. Life is a fight, and the strongest wins. All civilization does is hide the blood and cover up the hate with pretty words!
Ursula K. Le Guin
When in the Land of Property think like a propertarian. Dress like one, eat like one, act like one, be one.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A profound love between two people involves, after all, the power and chance of doing profound hurt.
Ursula K. Le Guin
