You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
The bond between true lovers is as close as we come to what endures forever.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Truth is a matter of the imagination.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Why can I never set my heart on a possible thing?
Ursula K. Le Guin
When the genuine myth rises into consciousness, that is always its message. You must change your life.
Ursula K. Le Guin
She'll die.' 'Aye. That's a consequence of being alive.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There is neither source nor end, for all things are in the Center of Time. As all the stars may be reflected in a round raindrop falling in the night: so too do all the stars reflect the raindrop. There is neither darkness nor death, for all things are, in the Light of the Moment, and their end and their beginning are one.
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
