Ursula K. Le Guin
“The trouble is, women have to be absolutely first class to get where third-class men get.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Very Far Away from Anywhere Else: An Inspiring YA Coming-of-Age Story About Smart Teens and Honest Living

Ursula K. Le Guin
“If your strength is only the other’s weakness, you live in fear,”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu

Ursula K. Le Guin
“You have to help another person. But it's not right to play God with masses of people. To be God you have to know what you're doing. And to do any good at all, just believing you're right and your motives are good isn't enough.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

Ursula K. Le Guin
“How do I know," she said at last, "that you are what you seem to be?"
"You don't," Said he. "I don't know what I seem, to you.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan

Ursula K. Le Guin
“He tried to read an elementary economics text; it bored him past endurance, it was like listening to somebody interminably recounting a long and stupid dream. He could not force himself to understand how banks functioned and so forth, because all the operations of capitalism were as meaningless to him as the rites of a primitive religion, as barbaric, as elaborate, and as unnecessary. In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the moneychangers, where greed, laziness, and envy were assumed to move all men's acts, even the terrible became banal.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
