Ursula K. Le Guin
The only questions that really matter are the ones you ask yourself.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The story is not in the plot but in the telling.
Ursula K. Le Guin
No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I never knew anybody . . . who found life simple. I think a life or a time looks simple when you leave out the details.
Ursula K. Le Guin
She'll die.' 'Aye. That's a consequence of being alive.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There's no way to use power for good.
Ursula K. Le Guin
All makers must leave room for the acts of the spirit. But they have to work hard and carefully, and wait patiently, to deserve them.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I'd rather get bad news from an honest man than lies from a flatterer.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Yet we were rescued by that fancy, and saved by a myth.
Ursula K. Le Guin
