"There is no eternity for her; there is only change. The world, 'all that is not cat . . . will rejoin without a seam when he is dead, she writes"

This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

To be reborn one must die, Tenar. It is not so hard as it looks from the other side.

To exchange all the goodness and grace of every life in Omelas for that single, small improvement: to throw away the happiness of thousands for the chance of the happiness of one: that would be to let guilt within the walls indeed.

A machine is more blameless, more sinless even than any animal. It has no intentions whatsoever but our own.

His gentleness was uncompromising; because he would not compete for dominance, he was indomitable.

Sto leggendo, e in un paio di casi rileggendo, i libri del ciclo 'hainita' scritti da Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018). Una grande scrittrice.

And though I came to forget or regret all I have ever done, yet I would remember that once I saw the dragons aloft on the wind at sunset above the western isles; and I would be content.

I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant.

The law of evolution is that the strongest survives!' 'Yes, and the strongest, in the existence of any social species, are those who are most social. In human terms, most ethical...There is no strength to be gained from hurting one another. Only weakness.

A person who believes, as she did, that things fit: that there is a whole of which one is a part, and that in being a part one is whole: such a person has no desire whatever, at any time, to play God. Only those who have denied their being yearn to play at it.
