More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
The artist deals with what cannot be said in words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The label YA actually means nothing except that the protagonists, or some of them, are young. Publishers like it because it is a secure marketing niche. But the cost of security is exclusion from literary consideration.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Hope is a slow business.
Ursula K. Le Guin
But need alone is not enough to set power free: there must be knowledge.
Ursula K. Le Guin
O foolish writer. Now moves. Even in storytime, dreamtime, once-upon-a-time, now isn't then.
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
In war everybody is a prisoner.
Ursula K. Le Guin
We have been civilized for a thousand millennia. We have histories of hundreds of those millennia. We have tried everything. Anarchism, in all its forms, with the rest. But I have not tried it. They say there is nothing new under any sun. But if each life is not new, each single life, then why are we born?
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
Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art - the art of words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings
Ursula K. Le Guin
Even a poet cannot get everything right.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To be whole is to be part true voyage is return.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To exhibit the perfect uselessness of knowing the answer to the wrong question.
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
To claim power over what you do not understand is not wise, nor is the end of it likely to be good.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The one thing a writer has to have is a pencil and some paper. That's enough, so long as she knows that she and she alone is in charge of that pencil, and responsible, she and she alone, for what it writes on that paper.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Greed puts out the sun.
Ursula K. Le Guin
One man may as easily destroy, as govern: be King or Anti-King.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Morality is an utterly meaningless term unless defined as the good one does to others, the fulfilling of one's function in the sociopolitical whole.
Ursula K. Le Guin
