Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
Alone, no one wins freedom.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?
Ursula K. Le Guin
You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
Nobody who says, ‘I told you so’ has ever been, or will ever be, a hero.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In innocence there is no strength against evil, said Sparrowhawk, a little wryly. But there is strength in it for good.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The bond between true lovers is as close as we come to what endures forever.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Artists are people who are not at all interested in the facts - only in the truth.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Great artists make the roads good teachers and good companions can point them out. But there ain't no free rides, baby.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Fantasy is probably the oldest literary device for talking about reality.
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
Yet we were rescued by that fancy, and saved by a myth.
Ursula K. Le Guin
