Ursula K. Le Guin
If you want your writing to be taken seriously, don't marry and have kids, and above all, don't die. But if you have to die, commit suicide. They approve of that.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To see that your life is a story while you're in the middle of living it may be a help to living it well.
Ursula K. Le Guin
