Leblooski’s Notes & Highlights

It by Stephen King

and it was hard for him to do anything without music playing

“Meaning in art isn’t the same as meaning in science. The meaning of the second law of thermodynamics, so long as the words are understood, isn’t changed by who reads it, or when, or where. The meaning of Huckleberry Finn is.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters

“There were people who swore as an art form—performing a dazzling juncture of the inordinate and the unexpected.”

“This has been going on for two or three millennia. That is an amazingly long time for anything to mean anything to anybody.”

“Human societies provide us with various more elaborate devices. One of the most effective is respect. You don’t like the stranger, but your carefully respectful behavior to him elicits the same from him, thus avoiding the sterile expense of time and blood on aggression and defense.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters

“If we insist that in the real world the ultimate victor must be the good guy, we’ve sacrificed right to might. (That’s what History does after most wars, when it applauds the victors for their superior virtue as well as their superior firepower.) If we falsify the terms of the competition, handicapping it, so that the good guys may lose the battle but always win the war, we’ve left the real world, we’re in fantasy land—wishful thinking country.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters
