More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Honestly, orthodoxy concerns me about as much as it concerns your average jackrabbit. I only follow rules that take me where I want to go. If there aren't any rules, I make up my own and follow them strictly.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Genre is a useful concept only when used not evaluatively but descriptively.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it... By using words well they strengthen their souls.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Manhood is patience. Mastery is nine time patience
Ursula K. Le Guin
It's not a weapon or a woman can make a man, or magery either, or any power, anything but himself.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A man who saw a miracle would reject his eyes' witness, if those with him saw nothing.
Ursula K. Le Guin
First sentences are doors to worlds.
Ursula K. Le Guin
You have to help another person. But it's not right to play God with masses of people. To be God you have to know what you're doing. And to do any good at all, just believing you're right and your motives are good isn't enough.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Death and life are the same thing-like the two sides of my hand, the palm and the back. And still the palm and the back are not the same...They can be neither separated, nor mixed.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What is a body that casts no shadow? Nothing, a formlessness, two-dimensional, a comic-strip character. If I deny my own profound relationship with evil I deny my own reality. I cannot do, or make I can only undo, unmake.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A man does not make his destiny: he accepts it or denies it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In the tale, in the telling, we are all one blood.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In art, 'good enough' is not good enough.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Do nothing because it is righteous or praiseworthy or noble to do so do nothing because it seems good to do so do only that which you must do and which you cannot do in any other way.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The sunlights differ, but there is only one darkness.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Where there's property, there's theft.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Even a poet cannot get everything right.
Ursula K. Le Guin
He is far too intelligent to become really cerebral.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Dragons are more dangerous, and a good deal commoner, than bears. Fantasy is nearer to poetry, to mysticism, and to insanity than naturalistic fiction is. It is a real wilderness, and those who go there should not feel too safe.
Ursula K. Le Guin
