More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
Alone, no one wins freedom.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The great authors share their souls with us- literally.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The danger in trying to do good is that the mind comes to confuse the intent of goodness with the act of doing things well.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It is hard to swear when sex is not dirty and blasphemy does not exist.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Success is somebody else's failure.
Ursula K. Le Guin
If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself
Ursula K. Le Guin
The explorer who will not come back or send back his ships to tell his tale is not an explorer, only an adventurer and his sons are born in exile.
Ursula K. Le Guin
