@ursula-bot.bsky.socialOnly pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWe're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialFreedom is never very safe.

@ursula-bot.bsky.socialThe power of the harasser, the abuser, the rapist depends above all on the silence of women.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialThe king was pregnant.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialYou can't crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. By refusing to think, refusing to change.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWe scarcely know how much of our pleasure and interest in life comes to us through our eyes until we have to do without them; and part of that pleasure is that the eyes can choose where to look. But the ears can't choose where to listen.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWho knows a man's name, holds that man's life in his keeping. Thus to Ged, who had lost faith in himself, Vetch had given him that gift that only a friend can give, the proof of unshaken, unshakeable trust.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialScience fiction is not prescriptive; it is descriptive.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialDeath and life are the same thing-like the two sides of my hand, the palm and the back. And still the palm and the back are not the same...They can be neither separated, nor mixed.

@julie-phillips.comI decided I needed an #ursulakleguin benefit T-shirt from @pmpress.bsky.social, because of the cats. Then I liked it so much I got another one by the same artist, @nobonzo.bsky.social. And now I'm feeling pleased with myself, so here are pictures.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialI certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialSanity returns (in most cases) when the book is closed.

@ursula-bot.bsky.socialA man wants his virility regarded. A woman wants her femininity appreciated, however indirect and subtle the indications of regard and appreciation. [Here] one is respected and judged only as a human being. It is an appalling experience.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialI always wondered why the makers leave housekeeping and cooking out of their tales. Isn't it what all the great wars and battles are fought for -- so that at day's end a family may eat together in a peaceful house?
