Ursula K. Le Guin
In art, 'good enough' is not good enough.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
There is no information about corporations. There is only disinformation.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A dangerous book will always be in danger from those it threatens with the demand that they question their assumptions. They'd rather hang on to the assumptions and ban the book.
Ursula K. Le Guin
She obeys me, but only because she wants to. It's the only justification for obedience, Ged observed.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What good is power when you're too wise to use it?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Having one king, one god, one belief, they can act single-mindedly.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Men who fight wars in winter don't live till spring.
Ursula K. Le Guin
They can send death at once, but life is slower.
Ursula K. Le Guin
