Ursula K. Le Guin
Science fiction is not prescriptive it is descriptive.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
The sunlights differ, but there is only one darkness.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Other people's stories may become part of your own, the foundation of it, the ground it goes on.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Planets were very large places, on any scale but that of the spaces in between them.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In the tale, in the telling, we are all one blood.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Truth is a matter of the imagination. The soundest fact may fail or prevail in the style of its telling: like that singular organic jewel of our seas, which grows brighter as one woman wears it and, worn by another, dulls and goes to dust.
Ursula K. Le Guin
We decided that it was no good asking what is the meaning of life, because life isn't an answer, life is the question, and you, yourself, are the answer.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Almost anything carried to a logical extreme becomes depressing.
Ursula K. Le Guin
My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool it gives me all the world, and exiles me from it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
