More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Infinite are the arguments of mages.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I think there is no way to write about being alone. To write is to tell something to somebody to communicate to others. . . . Solitude is noncommunication, the absence of others, the presence of a self sufficient to itself.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The great authors share their souls with us- literally.
Ursula K. Le Guin
After a long time spent learning how to write as a woman instead of as an honorary man, I was able to come back to Earthsea and write the next three books in another and newer tradition: that of questioning, rather than accepting, the gendering of power as male.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Having one king, one god, one belief, they can act single-mindedly.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Love is the true condition of human life.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In the tale, in the telling, we are all one blood.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
She obeys me, but only because she wants to. It's the only justification for obedience, Ged observed.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To read and to write. Some writers have to be told to write. They think their job is to meet agents and have experiences and they can just be rich and famous. Their job is to write. Some really don't realize that. And you can't write unless you read.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Those who build walls are their own prisoners.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Ah, genre. A word only a Frenchman could love.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Those who dislike fantasy are very often equally bored or repelled by science. They don't like either hobbits, or quasars they don't feel at home with them they don't want complexities, remoteness. If there is any such connection, I'll bet that it is basically an aesthetic one
Ursula K. Le Guin
Do you know how to read? No. It is one of the black arts. He nodded. But a useful one, he said.
Ursula K. Le Guin
When the enemy enthusiastically embraces you, and the fellow countrymen bitterly reject you, it is hard not to wonder if you are, in fact, a traitor.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Almost anything carried to a logical extreme becomes depressing.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What the brain does by itself is infinitely more fascinating and complex than any response it can make to chemical stimulation.
Ursula K. Le Guin
