Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
The desire for power feeds off itself, growing as it devours.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
Even in the obscure vast history of a planet the time it takes to make a forest counts. It takes a while. And not every planet can do it it is no common effect, that tangling of the sun's first cool light in the shadow and complexity of innumberable wind-stirred branches.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To oppose something is to maintain it... You must go somewhere else you must have another goal then you walk a different road.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Scientific truth will out, you can't hide the sun under a stone.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What is life without incompatible realities?
Ursula K. Le Guin
The artist deals with what cannot be said in words. The artist whose medium is fiction does this in words. The novelist says in words what cannot be said in words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It is a real wilderness, and those who go there should not feel too safe.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art - the art of words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What goes too long unchanged destroys itself.
Ursula K. Le Guin
