“Once in a while there was a volcanic outburst into the consciousness, when some new idea, the solution to a problem, burbled up flecked with the detritus of its birth - pride, rage, ambition, prejudice, all the freight of human creativity.”

“We're in the world, not against it. It doesn't work to try to stand
outside things and run them, that way. It just doesn't work, it goes against life. There is a way but you have to follow it. The world is, no matter how we think it ought to be. You have to be with it. You have to let it be.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

“Orr was not a fast reasoner. In fact, he was not a reasoner. He arrived at ideas the slow way, never skating over the clear, hard ice of logic, nor soaring on the slipstreams of imagination, but slogging, plodding along on the heavy ground of existence.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

“Sometimes you feel something so deeply that tears just don't do it justice.”
― Marko Realmonte, Murder at White Oak
