Esmé Boom's review
of
A Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea Cycle, #1):
"Queen Ursula is not at her subtlest in this one, but she is fierce and taoist of philosophy nonetheless."

“Hoe noem je het als je zowel glimt van trots, als in elkaar wil schrompelen tot je verdwijnt? Ik hoor daar nooit iemand over, terwijl het een gevoel is dat ik zo goed ken.”

“Zo deed hij dat. Hij bepaalde wie er bestond en zo kreeg zijn eigen bestaan iets mythisch. Alsof hij zichzelf geschapen had, vóór hem was er niets.”

“What a story is, is devious. It pretends transparency, forthrightness. It engages with ordinary people, ordinary matters, recognizable stuff. But this is all a masquerade. What good stories deal with is the horror and incomprehensibility of time, the dark encroachment of old catastrophes—which is Wallace Stevens, I think. As a form, the short story is hardly divine, though all excellent art has its mystery, its spiritual rhythm.”

“She sat staring at the heavy curtains that shut out the gentle twilit garden, thinking how few things in life were un-muddled, firmly outlined as they were surely intended to be? One could organize, direct, plan each hour in advance and still the muddle persisted. Nothing in life was really water-tight, nothing secret, nothing secure.”

“Children lose interest in their parents when they are left. They are not sentimental. They are passionate and cold. [...] They learn to pretend. And pretense becomes the most active, the realest part, alluring as dreams. It takes place of what we think is real. - pg. 11-12”

“Omdat men zal weten dat over de mens niets te bewijzen valt, dat er van hem in doen en laten, in wezen en verschijning, in heden en verleden, nog geen schim valt te bekennen van wat hij is en is geweest.
Wij zijn niets anders dan de strandvonders van ons eigen leven, brokstukken verzamelend langs de zee der vergetelheid. In onze hand lopen wij met de verroeste spijkers van een groot, gezonken schip - en wij denken dat dit oudroest een horloge is.”
