“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Public libraries seem to me a powerful example of the way that gift economies can coexist with market economies, at a larger scale. . . To me, they embody the civic-scale practice of a gift economy and the notion of common property. Libraries are models of gift economies, providing free access not only to books but also music, tools, seeds, and more. We don't each. have to own everything. The books at the library belong to everyone, serving the public with free books. . . Take the books, enjoy them, bring them back so someone else can enjoy them, with literary abundance for all. And all you need is a library card, which is a kind of agreement to respect and take care of the common good.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

Ursula K. Le Guin
“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”
Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin
“We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Wind's Twelve Quarters, Volume 1
