"Trying to be objective about this because I am being forced to throw out the unit I'd been planning and have to teach this on a week's notice and that's going to take a bit out of the enjoyment of any book." Jan 18, 2026 05:56PM

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

Carl Sagan
“If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.”
Carl Sagan
