“Stories are what death thinks he puts an end to. He can't understand that they end in him, but they don't end with him.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Gifts

“What a comfort the past is," Mimen said, "when the future offers none.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Powers

“Women used and did what there was to use and do, but men shunned and despised a great many things, such as wicker chairs and cooking and storytelling, depriving themselves of many skills and pleasures, in order to prove that they weren't women. Wouldn't it be better to prove it by doing, rather than by not doing?”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Powers

“Writing about our life in the House of Arcamand in the City State of Etra, I fall back into it and see it as I saw it then, from inside and from below, with nothing to compare it to, and as if it were the only way things could possibly be. Children see the world that way. So do most slaves. Freedom is largely a matter of seeing that there are alternatives.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Powers
