More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Death and life are the same thing-like the two sides of my hand, the palm and the back. And still the palm and the back are not the same...They can be neither separated, nor mixed.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There is a limited number of plots. There is no limit to the number of stories.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There are dance artists, painting artists and writing artists. Authors are writing artists. You can practice art in whatever medium you choose, and words are mine.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Despair speaks evenly, in a quiet voice.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Honestly, orthodoxy concerns me about as much as it concerns your average jackrabbit. I only follow rules that take me where I want to go. If there aren't any rules, I make up my own and follow them strictly.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The important thing is not the finding, it is the seeking, it is the devotion with which one spins the wheel of prayer and scripture, discovering the truth little by little.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Truth, as ever, avoids the stranger.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The great authors share their souls with us- literally.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
The counsel of the dead is not profitable to the living.
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
Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A story rises from the springs of creation, from the pure will to be it tells itself I takes its own course, finds its own way, its own words and the writer's job is to be its medium.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There's no way to use power for good.
Ursula K. Le Guin
At this point, realism is perhaps the least adequate means of understanding or portraying the incredible realities of our existence.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Besides, when you say you're a feminist it annoys the bigots and the old farts and the prissy ladies so much, it's kind of irresistible.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Maybe when you meet the people you are supposed to meet you know it, without knowing it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced.
Ursula K. Le Guin
We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable - but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What is love of one's country is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing.
Ursula K. Le Guin
