On the planet O there has not been a war for five thousand years, she read, and on Gethen there has never been a war." She stopped reading, to rest her eyes and because she was trying to train herself to read slowly. "There has never been a war." In her mind the words stood clear and bright, surrounded by and sinking into an infinite, dark, soft incredulity. What would that world be, a world without war? It would be the real world. Peace was the true life, the life of working and learning and bringing up children to work and learn. War, which devoured work, learning, and children, was the denial of reality. But my people, she thought, know only how to deny. Born in the dark shadow of power misused, we set peace outside our world, a guiding and unattainable light. All we know to do is fight. Any peace one of us can make in our life is only a denial that the war is going on, a shadow of the shadow, a doubled unbelief. So as the cloud-shadows swept over the marshes and the page of the book open on her lap, she sighed and closed her eyes. thinking, "I am a liar." Then she opened her eyes and read more about the other worlds, the far realities. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
In the tale, in the telling, we are all one blood. Take the tale in your teeth, then, and bite till the blood runs, hoping it's not poison; and we will all come to the end together, and even to the beginning: living, as we do, in the middle. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
You were the vessel of evil. The Evil is poured out. It is done. It is buried in it's own tomb. You were never made for cruelty and darkness; you were made to hold light ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Since he was very young he had known that in certain ways he was unlike anyone else he knew. For a child the consciousness of such difference is very painful, since, having done nothing yet and being incapable of doing anything, he cannot justify it. The reliable and affectionate presence of adults who are also, in their own way, different, is the only reassurance such a child can have; and Shevek had not had it. His father had indeed been utterly reliable and affectionate. Whatever Shevek was and whatever he did, Palat approved and was loyal. But Palat had not had this curse of difference. He was like the others, like all the others to whom community came so easy. He loved Shevek, but he could not show him what freedom is, that recognition of each person's solitude which alone transcends it. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Organized Christianity has probably done more to retard the ideals that were its founder's than any other agency in the world. ~ Richard Le Gallienne
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Richard Le Gallienne
He wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion ... ~ John Le Carre
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by John Le Carre
I think men mostly have to learn to be anarchists. Women don't have to learn."
Vokep shook his head grimly. "It's the kids," he said. "Having babies. Makes 'em propertarians. They won't let go." He sighed. "Touch and go, brother, that's the rule. Don't ever let yourself be owned. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
There is a song of Gainsbourg that Jane Birkin sang, and the words are beautiful in French. It says, "Le jeu et les moi." It's impossible to translate, because it has a very nice sound. It sounds so lovely in French. So I took that because it was the subject: I and myself and myself and I. Which is, in a way, boring, because it is a contradiction. ~ Agnes Varda
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Agnes Varda
There is a certain bleakness in finding hope where one expected certainty. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
The history of an oppressed people is hidden in the lies and the agreed myth of its conquerors. ~ Meridel Le Sueur
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Meridel Le Sueur
Little children are stoical. They cry over bumps, but they take the big things as they come, they don't whine like so many adults. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin

Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Philippe Le Douarec
It's easy to forget what intelligence consists of: luck and speculation. Here and there a windfall, here and there a scoop. ~ John Le Carre
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by John Le Carre
Dragons think we are amusing. But they remember Erreth-Akbe. They speak of him as if he were a dragon, not a man. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
People often seem surprised that I choose to write science fiction and fantasy - I think they expect a history professor to write historical fiction, or literary fiction, associating academia with the kinds of novels that academic lit critics prefer. But I feel that speculative fiction, especially science fiction and fantasy, is a lot more like the pre-modern literature I spend most of my time studying than most modern literature is. Ursula Le Guin has described speculative fiction authors as "realists of a larger reality" because we imagine other ways of being, alternatives to how people live now, different worlds, and raise questions about hope and change and possibilities that different worlds contain.

....

Writing for a more distant audience, authors tended to be speculative, using exotic perspectives, fantastic creatures, imaginary lands, allegories, prophecies, stories within stories, techniques which, like science fiction and fantasy, use alternatives rather than one reality in order to ask questions, not about the way things are, but about plural ways things have been and could be. Such works have an empathy across time, expecting and welcoming an audience as alien as the other worlds that they describe. When I read Voltaire responding to Francis Bacon, responding to Petrarch, responding to Boethius, responding to Seneca, responding to Plutarch, I want to respond to them too, to pass it on. So it makes sense to me to answer in the genre people ha ~ Ada Palmer
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ada Palmer
For they were alone, and he was one of the seven persons in the world who knew the Archmage's name. The others were the Master Namer of Roke; and Ogion the Silent, the wizard of Re Albi, who long ago on the mountain of Gont had given Ged that name; and the White Lady of Gont, Tenar of the Ring; and a village wizard in Iffish called Vetch; and in Iffish again, a house-carpenter's wife, mother of three girls, ignorant of all sorcery but wise in other things, who was called Yarrow; and finally, on the other side of Earthsea, in the farthest west, two dragons: Orm Embar and Kalessin. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
What are we so afraid of? Why don't we let 'em tell us we're afraid? What is it they're afraid of?" She picked up the stocking she had been darning, turned it in her hands, was silent awhile; finally she said, "What are they afraid of us for? ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
He said after a little while, 'I see why you say that only men do evil, I think. Even sharks are innocent, they kill because they must.'
'That is why nothing can resist us. Only one thing in the worl can resist an evil-hearted man. And that is another man. In our shame is our glory. Only our spirit, which is capable of evil, is capable of overcoming it. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Some men will never be heroes, some heroes will never be men, he thought, with urgent acknowledgements to Joseph Conrad. ~ John Le Carre
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by John Le Carre
A friend. What is a friend, in a world where any friend may be a lover at a new phase of the moon? Not I, locked in my virility: no friend to Therem Harth, or any other of his race. Neither man nor woman, neither and both, cyclic, lunar, metamorphosing under the hand's touch, changelings in the human cradle, they were no flesh of mine, no friends; no love between us. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it. ~ J. Sheridan Le Fanu
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
The louder our world today is, the deeper God seems to remain in silence. Silence is the language of eternity; noise passes. ~ Gertrud Von Le Fort
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Gertrud Von Le Fort
Sacrifice might be demanded of the individual, but never compromise: for though only the society could give security and stability, only the individual, the person, had the power of moral choice - the power of change, the essential function of life. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Blackmail is more effective than bribery. ~ John Le Carre
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by John Le Carre
By analogy, if we were to develop a soccer team, then we would not invite basketball and volleyball players to the try outs. We would invite soccer players to apply. ~ Jean-Marie Le Pen
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Jean-Marie Le Pen
There's a good deal in common between the mind's eye and the TV screen, and though the TV set has all too often been the boobtube, it could be, it can be, the box of dreams. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
In terms of facial creams or lotions, I try to switch it up and stay as natural as possible. l like Le Mer facial cream for when I have an event. It's very rich and sometimes too rich for some people, but I like it. ~ Sanaa Lathan
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Sanaa Lathan
None were left now to unname, and yet how close I felt to them when I saw one of them swim or fly or trot or crawl across my way or over my skin, or stalk me in the night, or go along beside me for a while in the day. They seemed far closer than when their names had stood between myself and them like a clear barrier: so close that my fear of them and their fear of me became one same fear. And the attraction that many of us felt, the desire to feel or rub or caress one another's scales or skin or feathers or fur, taste one another's blood or flesh, keep one another warm, that attraction was now all one with the fear, and the hunter could not be told from the hunted, nor the eater from the food. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Places change imperceptibly – in detail, at least – a good deal,' said the Doctor, making an effort to keep up a conversation that plainly would not go on itself; 'and people too; population shifts – there's an old fellow, sir, they call Death. ~ J. Sheridan Le Fanu
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
The Tower of Babel" ...
The undersigned citizens, being artists, painters, sculptors, architects, and others devoted to and desirous preserving the amenities of Paris, wish to protest, in the name of our national good taste, against such an erection in the very heart of our city, as the monstrous and useless Eiffel Tower, already christened ... " The Tower of Babel" ...
How much longer is the City of Paris to be a play-ground for these barbarous and sordid imaginations which disfigure and dishonor her? For the Eiffel Tower, which even commercially minded America rejected, is a public dishonor to our city. All our historic buildings, our monuments of rare and appealing beauty, are dwarfed and humiliated by this monstrous apotheosis of the factory chimney whose odious shadow will lie over the city ...
Plea to the Exposition Director in opposition to the Eiffel Tower, signed by artists and writers and published in Le Temps, 1887 ~ Carol McCleary
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Carol McCleary
The sleeper dreamed. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Le Carre's voice - patrician, cold, brilliant and amused - was perfect for the wilderness-of-mirrors undertow of the Cold War, and George Smiley is the all-time harassed bureaucrat of spy fiction. ~ Alan Furst
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Alan Furst
I'd rather get bad news from an honest man than lies from a flatterer, ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ningun Guey Le Ruego quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Haydon was more than his model, he was his inspiration, the torch-bearer of a certain kind of English calling which - for the very reason that it was vague and understated and elusive - had made sense of Guillam's life till now. ~ John Le Carre
