Ah, genre. A word only a Frenchman could love.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.
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
Almost everything is double like that for adolescents their lies are true and their truths are lies, and their hearts are broken by the world. They gyre and fall they see through everything, and are blind.
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
It is a real wilderness, and those who go there should not feel too safe.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What else can the young be? When you are on the bottom, you must organize from the bottom up
Ursula K. Le Guin
Hardly anybody ever writes anything nice about introverts. Extroverts rule. This is rather odd when you realise that about nineteen writers out of twenty are introverts. We are been taught to be ashamed of not being 'outgoing'. But a writer's job is ingoing.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Sanity returns (in most cases) when the book is closed.
Ursula K. Le Guin
We read books to find out who we are.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What's needed in this case is conscious and serious practice in hearing, and using, and being used by, other people's voices.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It is of the nature of idea to be communicated: written, spoken, done. The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on.
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
Manipulated, one manipulates others.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In war everybody is a prisoner.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The more defensive a society, the more conformist.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Genre fiction was looked at as a ghetto, but I wonder now if realist fiction, sealing itself off in the glum suburbs of a dysfunctional society, denying the use of imagination, was the ghetto.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A man does not make his destiny: he accepts it or denies it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It's not a weapon or a woman can make a man, or magery either, or any power, anything but himself.
Ursula K. Le Guin
When I'm writing I don't dream much it's like the dreaming gets used in the writing.
Ursula K. Le Guin
