Book cover for How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain
Emotions are thus thought to be a kind of brute reflex, very often at odds with our rationality.

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Yet a greater, unlearned skill he possessed, which was the art of kindness.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The best I can say, it's like this. A man's in his skin, see, like a nut in its shell ... It's hard and strong, that shell, and it's all full of him. Full of grand man-meat, man-self. And that's all. That's all there is.

A woman's a different thing entirely. Who knows where a woman begins and ends? Listen mistress, I have roots, I have roots deeper than this island. Deeper than the sea, older than the raising of the lands. I go back into the dark ... I go back into the dark! 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. Who dares ask questions of the dark? Who'll ask the dark its name?”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu

Ursula K. Le Guin
“We came, Takver thought, from a great distance to each other. We have always done so. Over great distances, over years, over abysses of chance. It is because he comes from so far away that nothing can separate us. Nothing, no distances, no years, can be greater than the distance that’s already between us, the distance of our sex, the difference of our being, our minds; that gap, that abyss which we bridge with a look, with a touch, with a word, the easiest thing in the world. Look how far away he is, asleep. Look how far away he is, he always is. But he comes back, he comes back, he comes back…. Takver”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed

Naomi Klein
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!”
Naomi Klein, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate

Ursula K. Le Guin
“I think this is pretty much what Mr. Hamid says more politely, when he says that art is bigger than notions of black or white, male or female, American or non. Human beings don’t necessarily exist inside of (or correspond to) the neat racial, gendered or national boxes into which we often unthinkingly place them. It’s a mistake to ask literature to reinforce such structures. Literature tends to crack them. Literature is where we free ourselves.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters
