Ursula K. Le Guin said this quote

“ This concern, feebly called 'love of nature', seemed to Shevek to be something much broader than love. There are souls, he thought, whose umbilicus has never been cut. They never got weaned from the universe. They do not understand death as an enemy; they look forward to rotting and turning into humus. ”

I had forgotten how much light there is in the world, till you gave it back to me.

~ Ursula K. Le Guin

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.

~ Ursula K. Le Guin

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

~ Ursula K. Le Guin
