Ursula K. Le Guin
“I like men very much, but sometimes ... they're so stupid, so stuffed with theories .... They go in straight lines only, and won't stop. It's dangerous to do that. It's dangerous to leave everything up to the men, you know. That's one reason why I'd like to go home, at least for a visit. To see what Elia with his theories, and my dear young Lev with his ideals, are up to. I get worried they'll go too fast and too straight and get us into a place we can't get out of, a trap. You see it seems to me that where men are weak and dangerous is in their vanity. A woman has a center, is a center. But a man isn't, he's a reaching out. So he reaches out and grabs things and piles them up around him and says, I'm this, I'm that, this is me, that's me, I'll prove that I am me! And he can wreck a lot of things, trying to prove it.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Eye of the Heron

Shirley Jackson
“I am home, she thought, and stopped in wonder at the thought. I am home, I am home, she thought; now to climb.”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

Radclyffe Hall
“Language is surely too small a vessel to contain these emotions of mind and body that have somehow awakened a response in the spirit.”
Radclyffe Hall

Ursula K. Le Guin
“A promise is a direction taken, a self-limitation of choice. As Odo pointed out, if no direction is taken, if one goes nowhere, no change will occur. One's freedom to choose and to change will be unused, exactly as if one were in jail, a jail of one's own building, a maze in which no one way is better than any other.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Loyalty, which asserts the continuity of past and future, binding time into a whole, is the root of human strength; there is no good to be done without it.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
