The creative adult is the child who has survived. - Ursula K. Le Guin

"It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope."

"I use a whole lot of half-assed semicolons; there was one of them just now; that was a semicolon after 'semicolons,' and another one after 'now."

"To oppose something is to maintain it... You must go somewhere else; you must have another goal; then you walk a different road."

"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new."

"My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it."
