More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
Part of the particular interest and beauty of science fiction and fantasy: writer and reader collaborate in world-making.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I have no control over my writing. I have lots of good intentions, but no control. There's a story that wants to be told.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Every book purchase made from Amazon is a vote for a culture without content and without contentment.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible it is without significance.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Despair speaks evenly, in a quiet voice.
Ursula K. Le Guin
People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.
