Ursula K. Le Guin

Inventions have long since reached their limit, and I see no hope for further development.

I get a lot of moral guidance from reading novels, so I guess I expect my novels to offer some moral guidance, but they're not blueprints for action, ever.

When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

The dew of compassion is a tear.
