To oppose something is to maintain it... You must go somewhe... - Ursula K. Le Guin

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

"Children know perfectly well that unicorns aren’t real, but they also know that books about unicorns, if they are good books, are true books."

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

"As you read a book word by word and page by page, you participate in its creation, just as a cellist playing a Bach suite participates, note by note, in the creation, the coming-to-be, the existence, of the music. And, as you read and re-read, the book of course participates in the creation of you, your thoughts and feelings, the size and temper of your soul."

"Gradually the healing took place, seeming as it always does that it wasn't taking place."
