“It is our suffering that brings us together. It is not love. Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced. The bond that binds us is beyond choice. We are brothers. We are brothers in what we share. In pain, which each of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know our brotherhood. We know it, because we have had to learn it. We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

“Oracular ambiguity or statistical probability provides loopholes, and discrepancies are expunged by Faith.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

“Έχε γεια, φτωχέ μου, εύπιστε ανόητε! Θα πεις την αλήθεια και η αλήθεια θα σε ελευθερώσει. Αλλά μπορεί και όχι, εξαρτάται από την περίπτωση. Πήγαινε μόνος, αγαπητέ μου ηλίθιε- είναι ο καλύτερος τρόπος για να προχωρήσεις. Θα μου λείψουν τα όνειρά σου. Έχε γεια, έχε γεια. Τα ψάρια και οι επισκέπτες αρχίζουν να βρομάνε μετά από τρεις μέρες. Έχε γεια!”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, City of Illusions
