Ursula K. Le Guin said this quote

“ We live well in the houses, well enough, but we are ruled utterly by fear. There was a time we sailed in ships between the stars. Now, we dare not go 100 miles from home. We keep a little knowledge and do nothing with it, but once we used that knowledge to weave the pattern of life like a tapestry across night and chaos. We enlarged the chances of life. ”

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
