Love's just one of the ways through, and it can go wrong, and miss. Pain never misses. But therefore we don't have much choice about enduring it! We will, whether we want to or not.

More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Where there's property, there's theft.
Ursula K. Le Guin
All of us have to learn how to invent our lives , make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills we need guides to show us how. If we don't, our lives get made up for us by other people .
Ursula K. Le Guin
As a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing,but does only and wholly what he must do.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There's a good deal in common between the mind's eye and the TV screen, and though the TV set has all too often been the boobtube, it could be, it can be, the box of dreams.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I'm not a quester or a searcher for the truth. I don't really think there is one answer, so I never went looking for it. My impulse is less questing and more playful. I like trying on ideas and ways of life and religious approaches. I'm just not a good candidate for conversion.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Elegance is a small price to pay for enlightenment, and I was glad to pay it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The great authors share their souls with us- literally.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In our loss and fear we craved the acts of religion, the ceremonies that allow us to admit our helplessness, our dependence on the great forces we do not understand.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What good is power when you're too wise to use it?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Who knows a man's name, holds that man's life in his keeping. Thus to Ged, who had lost faith in himself, Vetch had given him that gift that only a friend can give, the proof of unshaken, unshakeable trust.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I write with all my heart
Ursula K. Le Guin
I hope you are never victims, but I hope you have no power over other people.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To see a candle's light one must take it into a dark place.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There are very real differences between science fiction and realistic fiction, between horror and fantasy, between romance and mystery. Differences in writing them, in reading them, in criticizing them. Vive les différences! They're what gives each genre its singular flavor and savor, its particular interest for the reader - and the writer.
Ursula K. Le Guin
We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Why can I never set my heart on a possible thing?
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
The machine conceals the machinations.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The fish in the creek said nothing. Fish never do. Few people know what fish think about injustice, or anything else.
Ursula K. Le Guin
She obeys me, but only because she wants to. It's the only justification for obedience, Ged observed.
