Ursula K. Le Guin
“You can go home again, the General Temporal Theory asserts, so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Anne Carson
“Theseus: Stop. Give me your hand. I am your friend.

Herakles: I fear to stain your clothes with blood.

Theseus: Stain them, I don't care.”
Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides

Ursula K. Le Guin
“You are rich. You own. We are poor. We lack. You have. We do not have. Everything is beautiful here, only not the faces. On Anarres nothing is beautiful, nothing but the faces. The other faces. The men and women. We have nothing but that, nothing but each other. Here you see the jewels. There you see the eyes. And in the eyes you see the splendor, the splendor of the human spirit, because our men and women are free possessing nothing. They are free. And you, the possessors are possessed. You are all in jail, each alone, solitary with a heap of what he owns. You live in prison, die in prison. It is all I can see in your eyes, the wall, the wall.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Kate Atkinson
“He was born a politician.
No, Ursula thought, he was born a baby, like everyone else. And this is what he has chosen to become.”
Kate Atkinson, Life After Life

Anne Carson
“Come back! Even as a shadow, even as a dream.”
Anne Carson, Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides
