More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
The desire for power feeds off itself, growing as it devours.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It's the self that suffers, and there's a place where the self--ceases. I don't know how to say it. But I believe that the reality--the truth that I recognize in suffering as I don't in comfort and happiness--that the reality of pain is not pain. If you can get through it. If you can endure it all the way.
Ursula K. Le Guin
And though I came to forget or regret all I have ever done, yet would I remember that once I saw the dragons aloft on the wind at sunset above the western isles and I would be content.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It did not matter, after all. He was only one man. One man's fate is not important. If it is not, what is? He could not endure those remembered words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Elegance is a small price to pay for enlightenment, and I was glad to pay it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Manhood is patience. Mastery is nine time patience
Ursula K. Le Guin
How can people be anything but ignorant when knowledge isn't saved, isn't taught?
Ursula K. Le Guin
This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The same old hypocrisy. Life is a fight, and the strongest wins. All civilization does is hide the blood and cover up the hate with pretty words!
Ursula K. Le Guin
Ignorant power is a bane!
Ursula K. Le Guin
Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The world is in balance . To light a candle is to cast a shadow.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What is love of one's country is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Where does your soul go, when you die in Hell?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Artists are people who are not at all interested in the facts - only in the truth.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The worst walls are never the ones you find in your way. The worst walls are the ones you put there .
Ursula K. Le Guin
The more defensive a society, the more conformist.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time I mean joy.
Ursula K. Le Guin
We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable - but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
