“Thought experiment number six: How does a society that values equality above all else deal with exceptional talents, exceptional abilities? How is personal achievement to be balanced with societal obligations? How is freedom to be balanced with order?”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed

“Thought experiment number five: Can neighbors be trusted to police neighbors? Can the inevitable petty jealousies and animosities, corrupting ambitions, factions, and personal power plays be mitigated? Can opposing opinions still be heard and considered, or do the demands of reciprocity beget conformity?”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed

― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed
