The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
(Where Do You Get Your Ideas From, 1987)

Select Ursula K. Le Guin Quotations |
What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy? Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. Fire and fear, good servants, bad lords.
