Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “In war everybody is a prisoner.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “The imagination is truly the enemy of bigotry and dogma.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Every book purchase made from Amazon is a vote for a culture without content and without contentment.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “The discovery brings him victory, the kind of victory that isn’t the end of a battle but the beginning of a life.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “I don’t want to be a propagandist, no matter how good the cause. I want to tell stories. It’s just that the stories have to square with my consciousness as a woman and my conscience as a human being.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “To learn a belief without the belief is to sing a song without the tune.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “As a writer, you are free.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Books, you know, they’re not just commodities. The profit motive often is in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. 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, and very often in our art – the art of words.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “For fantasy is true, of course. It isn’t factual, but it’s true. Children know that. Adults know it too and that’s precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living. They are afraid of dragons because they are afraid of freedom.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Rules are made to be broken. Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “What it has to do is move – end up in a different place from where it started. That’s what narrative does. It goes. It moves. Story is change.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Ultimately you write alone. And ultimately you and you alone can judge your work. The judgment that a work is complete – this is what I meant to do, and I stand by it – can come only from the writer, and it can be made rightly only by a writer who’s learned to read her own work.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “To see a candle’s light, one must take it into a dark place. This is the same as to see the good and be grateful, one must compare and contrast it with something worse – not better!”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Before the moon I am, what a woman is, a woman of power, a woman’s power, deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older than the Making, older than the moon.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Happiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive. In the middle category, however – that of the unnecessary but undestructive, that of comfort, luxury, exuberance, etc.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “To deny the past is to deny the future. A man does not make his destiny: he accepts it or denies it.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “All times are changing times, but ours is one of massive, rapid moral and mental transformation. Archetypes turn into millstones, large simplicities get complicated, chaos becomes elegant, and what everybody knows is true turns out to be what some people used to think.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “If you can’t lick’em, join’em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “It is of the nature of idea to be communicated: written, spoken, done. The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “A profound love between two people involves, after all, the power and chance of doing profound hurt.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “To be reborn one must die, Tenar. It is not so hard as it looks from the other side.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “To think that realistic fiction is by definition superior to imaginative fiction is to think imitation is superior to invention.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Readers, after all, are making the world with you. You give them the materials, but it’s the readers who build that world in their own minds.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “The fish in the creek said nothing. Fish never do. Few people know what fish think about injustice, or anything else.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Time has two aspects. There is the arrow, the running river, without which there is no change, no progress, or direction, or creation. And there is the circle or the cycle, without which there is chaos, meaningless succession of instants, a world without clocks or seasons or promises.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Those who dislike fantasy are very often equally bored or repelled by science. They don’t like either hobbits, or quasars; they don’t feel at home with them; they don’t want complexities, remoteness. If there is any such connection, I’ll bet that it is basically an aesthetic one.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “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 Quote: “Have you never thought how danger must surround power as shadow does light?”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “A man who doesn’t detest a bad government is a fool. And if there were such a thing as a good government on earth, it would be a great joy to serve it.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “But belief is the wound that knowledge heals, and death begins the Telling of our life.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “But need alone is not enough to set power free: there must be knowledge.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Truth is a matter of the imagination. The soundest fact may fail or prevail in the style of its telling: like that singular organic jewel of our seas, which grows brighter as one woman wears it and, worn by another, dulls and goes to dust.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “You don’t speak of dreams as unreal. They exist. They leave a mark behind them.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Between thought and spoken word is a gap where intention can enter, the symbol be twisted aside, and the lie come to be.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “The king was pregnant.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “The backside of heroism is often rather sad; women and servants know that. They know also that the heroism may be no less real for that. But achievement is smaller than men think. What is large is the sky, the earth, the sea, the soul.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Manhood is patience. Mastery is nine time patience.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “The individual cannot bargain with the State. The State recognizes no coinage but power: and it issues the coins itself.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “That is between me and my shadow.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “When the enemy enthusiastically embraces you, and the fellow countrymen bitterly reject you, it is hard not to wonder if you are, in fact, a traitor.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “They think if people can possess enough things they will be content to live in prison. But I will not believe that. I want the walls down. I want solidarity, human solidarity.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “What is the sense of giving a boundary to all... of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply?”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “And I needed a rock. Something to hold onto, to stand on. Something solid. Because everything was going soft, turning into mush, into marsh, into fog. Fog closing in on all sides. I didn’t know where I was at all.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “Love’s just one of the ways through, and it can go wrong, and miss. Pain never misses. But therefore we don’t have much choice about enduring it! We will, whether we want to or not.”
Ursula K. Le Guin Quote: “For if it’s all the rest of us who are killed by the suicide, it’s himself whom the murderer kills; only he has to do is over, and over, and over.”
