Ursula K. Le Guin
“Sometimes a god comes," Selver said. "He brings a new way to do a thing, or a new thing to be done. A new kind of singing, or a new kind of death. He brings this across the bridge between the dream-time and the world-time. When he has done this, it is done. You cannot take things that exist in the world and try to drive them back into the dream, to hold them inside the dream with walls and pretenses. That is insanity. What is, is. There is no use pretending, now, that we do not know how to kill one another.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Word for World Is Forest

Marcus Aurelius
“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Ursula K. Le Guin
“No good. No way out. Orr was where he had been for months - alone: knowing he was insane and knowing he was not insane, simultaneously and intensely. It was enough to drive him insane.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, (The Lathe Of Heaven (S.F. MASTERWORKS)) [By: Ursula K. Le Guin] [Aug, 2001]

Alexandre Dumas
“Philosophy cannot be taught; it is the application of the sciences to truth.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

Ursula K. Le Guin
“How does one hate a country, or love one? Tibe talks about it; I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing. Is it simply self-love? That's a good thing, but one mustn't make a virtue of it, or a profession... Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. And beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
