Ursula K. Le Guin
Anyhow they’re always exceptions. But most women, their only relationship to a man is having. Either owning or being owned.
Ursula K. Le Guin
He is far too intelligent to become really cerebral.
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
This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Most civilisations, perhaps, look shinier in general terms and from several light-years away.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Take the tale in your teeth, then, and bite till the blood runs, hoping it's not poison.
Ursula K. Le Guin
