More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
To oppose something is to maintain it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To have a choice at all is to be privileged.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I have no control over my writing. I have lots of good intentions, but no control. There's a story that wants to be told.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Statesmen remember things selectively.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There are things that outweigh comfort, unless one is an old woman or a cat.
Ursula K. Le Guin
If you evade suffering, you also evade the chance of joy.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Most civilisations, perhaps, look shinier in general terms and from several light-years away.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In so far as one denies what is, one is possessed by what is not, the compulsions, the fantasies, the terrors that flock to fill the void.
Ursula K. Le Guin
When the genuine myth rises into consciousness, that is always its message. You must change your life.
Ursula K. Le Guin
While we read a novel, we are insane—bonkers. We believe in the existence of people who aren't there, we hear their voices... Sanity returns (in most cases) when the book is closed.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Only in silence the word, only in dark the light, only in dying life: bright the hawk's flight on the empty sky.
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
George, it's impossible to correct a defective reality-orientation overnight.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Suffering is dysfunctional, except as a bodily warning against danger. Psychologically and socially it's merely destructive.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Other people's stories may become part of your own, the foundation of it, the ground it goes on.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It was men's ambitions, they said, that had perverted all the arts to ends of gain.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Success is somebody else's failure. Success is the American Dream we can keep dreaming because most people in most places, including thirty million of ourselves, live wide awake in the terrible reality of poverty.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It is not human to be without shame and without desire.
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
