“How men feared women! she thought, walking among the late-flowering roses. Not as individuals, but women when they talked together, worked together, spoke up for one another - then men saw plots, cabals, constraints, traps being laid. Of course they were right. Women were likely, as women, to take the next generations part, not this one's; they wove the links men saw as chains, the bonds men saw as bondage.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Other Wind

“By the time I wrote this book I needed to look at heroics from outside and underneath, from the point of view of the people who are not included. The ones who can’t do magic. The ones who don’t have shining staffs or swords. Women, kids, the poor, the old, the powerless. Unheroes, ordinary people—my people. I didn’t want to change Earthsea, but I needed to see what Earthsea looked like to us.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu

“Para mí, la violación posee ante todo esa particularidad: es algo obsesivo. Vuelvo a ello todo el tiempo. Desde hace veinte años, cada vez que creo haber acabado con ello, vuelvo. Para decir cosas diferentes y contradictorias. Novelas, historias cortas, canciones, películas. Imagino siempre que un día podré acabar con ello. Liquidar el evento, vaciarlo, agotarlo.

Imposible. Es fundacional. De lo que soy como escritora, como mujer que ya no es exactamente una. Es al mismo tiempo lo que me desfigura y lo que me constituye.”
― Virginie Despentes, Teoría King Kong

“But I know him, Moss. It’s Sparrowhawk.” Saying the name, Ged’s use-name, released a tenderness in her, so that for the first time she thought and felt that this was he indeed, and that all the years since she had first seen him were their bond. She saw a light like a star in darkness, underground, long ago, and his face in the light.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Tehanu
