More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Even a poet cannot get everything right.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There are dance artists, painting artists and writing artists. Authors are writing artists. You can practice art in whatever medium you choose, and words are mine.
Ursula K. Le Guin
You fear them because you fear death, and rightly: for death is terrible and must be feared,' the mage said...'And life is also a terrible thing,' Ged said, 'and must be feared and praised.
Ursula K. Le Guin
All men were alien one to another, at times, not only aliens.
Ursula K. Le Guin
One must work with time and not against it.
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
Now perhaps an excessive dread of overpopulation--overcrowding--reflects not an outward reality, but an inward state of mind. If you feel overcrowded when you're not, what does that mean? Maybe that you're afraid of human contact--of being close to people, of being touched.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It is useless work that darkens the heart.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To hear, one must be silent.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art - the art of words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A scientist can pretend that his work isn't himself, it's merely the impersonal truth. An artist can't hide behind the truth. He can't hide anywhere.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What is love of one's country is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I do not care what comes after I have seen the dragons on the wind of morning.
Ursula K. Le Guin
But it doesn't take a thousand men to open a door, my lord. It might to keep it open.
Ursula K. Le Guin
If they come prying they can leave curious.
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
The unread story is not a story it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There's nothing wrong with me...except acute chronic fear.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I came into science fiction at a very good time, when the doors were getting thrown open to all kinds of more experimental writing, more literary writing, riskier writing. It wasn't all imitation Heinlein or Asimov. And of course, women were creeping in, infiltrating. Infesting the premises.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I can never get used to the fact, though I know it, that women are born cynics. Men have to learn cynicism. Infant girls could teach it to them.
Ursula K. Le Guin
