Emma’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Farthest Shore (Earthsea Cycle, #3)

The Farthest Shore (Earthsea Cycle, #3) by Ursula K. Le Guin

1 highlight

He talks to all of us. But only some understand him. The wizards and the sorcerers. The singers; the makers. And the heroes, the ones who seek to be themselves.

“We-when-we-are-Teixcalaan are known without singing...We-when-we-are-Teixcalaan are known with language only, and still clearly...Language is not so transparent... language is not so transparent, but we are sometimes known, even so. If we are lucky.”
― Arkady Martine, A Desolation Called Peace

“I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say.”
