More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Reason is a faculty far larger than mere objective force. When either the political or the scientific discourse announces itself as the voice of reason, it is playing God, and should be spanked and stood in the corner.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Truth is a matter of the imagination.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To oppose something is to maintain it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A man wants his virility regarded. A woman wants her femininity appreciated, however indirect and subtle the indications of regard and appreciation. [Here] one is respected and judged only as a human being. It is an appalling experience.
Ursula K. Le Guin
We read books to find out who we are.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Age and illness made one a dualist

Ursula K. Le Guin
Claude Levi-Strauss has been a great source of fruitful irritation to my mind.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Light is the left hand of darkness and darkness the right hand of light. Two are one, life and death, lying together like lovers in kemmer, like hands joined together, like the end and the way.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Skill in writing frees you to write what you want to write. It may also show you what you want to write. Craft enables art.
Ursula K. Le Guin
People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.
Ursula K. Le Guin
When people say, Did you always want to be a writer?, I have to say no! I always WAS a writer.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Compare the torrent and the glacier. Both get where they are going.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It is good to have an end to journey towards but it is the journey that matters, in the end.
Ursula K. Le Guin
