More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
When action grows unprofitable, gather information when information grows unprofitable, sleep.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In art, 'good enough' is not good enough.
Ursula K. Le Guin
How can people be anything but ignorant when knowledge isn't saved, isn't taught?
Ursula K. Le Guin
The great authors share their souls with us- literally.
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
Oh, never and forever aren't for mortals, love. But we won't be parted till I know it's right that we part.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The airport bookstore did not sell books, only bestsellers, which Sita Dulip cannot read without risking a severe systemic reaction.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Reason is a faculty far larger than mere objective force. When either the political or the scientific discourse announces itself as the voice of reason, it is playing God, and should be spanked and stood in the corner.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Stories are what death thinks he puts an end to. He can't understand that they end in him, but they don't end with him.
Ursula K. Le Guin
One voice speaking truth is a greater force than fleets and armies.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A man would know the end he goes to, but he cannot know it if he does not turn, and return to his beginning, and hold that beginning in his being. If he would not be a stick whirled and whelmed in the stream, he must be the stream itself, all of it, from its spring to its sinking in the sea.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Fiction—and poetry and drama— cleanse the doors of perception.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The light is the left hand of darkness.
Ursula K. Le Guin
...If at moments the facts seem to alter with an altered voice, why then you can choose the fact you like best yet none of them are false, and it is all one story.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I hope you are never victims, but I hope you have no power over other people.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Those who build walls are their own prisoners.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I was in too much haste, and now have no time left. I traded all the sunlight and the cities and the distant lands for a handful of power, for a shadow, for the dark.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Primitiveness and civilization are degrees of the same thing. If civilization has an opposite, it is war.
Ursula K. Le Guin
He is far too intelligent to become really cerebral.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The hunger of a dragon is slow to wake, but hard to sate.
Ursula K. Le Guin
