The artist deals with what cannot be said in words. The artist whose medium is fiction does this in words. The novelist says in words what cannot be said in words (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Her work, I really think her work is finding what her real work is and doing it, her work, her own work, her being human, her being in the world (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
A story rises from the springs of creation, from the pure will to be; it tells itself; I takes its own course, finds its own way, its own words; and the writer’s job is to be its medium (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
See, the thing is, as a writer you are free. You are about the freest person that ever was. Your freedom is what you have bought with your solitude, your loneliness (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)

We need writers who know the difference between the production of a commodity and the practice of an art (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
I think hard times are coming. We will need writers who can remember freedom. Poets, visionaries, the realists of a larger reality (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Hate gets going, it goes round, it gets older and tighter and older and tighter, until it holds a person inside it like a fist holds a stick (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
The worst walls are never the ones you find in your way. The worst walls are the ones you put there (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Only in silence the word, only in dark the light, only in dying life: bright the hawk’s flight on the empty sky (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it... By using words well they strengthen their souls (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
A man who doesn’t detest a bad government is a fool. And if there were such a thing as a good government on earth, it would be a great joy to serve it (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
It is hard, I found, to be called traitor. Strange how hard it is, for it’s an easy name to call another man (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
The same old hypocrisy. Life is a fight, and the strongest wins. All civilization does is hide the blood and cover up the hate with pretty words! (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
It is of the nature of idea to be communicated: written, spoken, done. The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
If civilization has an opposite, it is war. Of these two things, you have either one, or the other. Not both (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
It is yin and yang. Light is the left hand of darkness... how did it go? Light, dark. Fear, courage. Cold, warmth. Female, male. It is yourself... both and one. A shadow on snow (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
When the enemy enthusiastically embraces you, and the fellow countrymen bitterly reject you, it is hard not to wonder if you are, in fact, a traitor (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
For a fiction writer, a storyteller, the world is full of stories, and when a story is there, it’s there, and you just reach up and pick it (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
A machine is more blameless, more sinless even than any animal. It has no intentions whatsoever but our own (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Well, the secret to writing is writing. It’s only a secret to people who don’t want to hear it. Writing is how you be a writer (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
It always seemed to me they’re sort of alike... magic and music. Spells and tunes. For one thing, you have to get them just exactly right (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Suffering is dysfunctional, except as a bodily warning against danger. Psychologically and socially it’s merely destructive (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
It is not altogether a bad thing to have criminal ancestors. An arsonist grandfather may bequeath one a nose for smelling smoke (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Sleeping people are so remote... Right here, but out of communication. That’s what strikes humans as uncanny about sleep. Its utter privacy. The sleeper turns his back on everyone (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Morality is an utterly meaningless term unless defined as the good one does to others, the fulfilling of one’s function in the sociopolitical whole (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Between thought and spoken word is a gap where intention can enter, the symbol be twisted aside, and the lie come to be (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
The danger in trying to do good is that the mind comes to confuse the intent of goodness with the act of doing things well (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
Any artist must expect to work amid the total, rational indifference of everybody else to their work, for years, perhaps for life (Ursula K Le Guin Quotes)
