Ursula K. Le Guin
“All stories are long,” he murmured. The Fertiliser had said something like that once. Short stories are only pieces of the long one, he had said.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Telling

David Eddings
“One of the less attractive aspects of human nature is our tendency to hate the people we haven’t treated very well. That’s much easier than accepting guilt. If we can convince ourselves that the people we betrayed or enslaved were sub-human monsters in the first place, then our guilt isn’t nearly as black as we secretly know that it is. Humans are very, very good at shifting blame and avoiding guilt. We do like to keep a good opinion of ourselves, don’t we?”
David Eddings, The Complete Tamuli Trilogy

Ursula K. Le Guin
“We’re not outside the world, yoz. You know? We are the world.”

“He said, “Please tell me, Sutty, is the institutionalised homophobia very difficult for you?” “I grew up with it.” “Under the Unists.” “Not only the Unists.”
