Ursula K. Le Guin said this quote

“ An Odonian undertook monogamy just as he might undertake a joint enterprise in production, a ballet or a soap-works. Partnership was a voluntarily constituted federation like any other. So long as it worked, it worked, and if it didn't work it stopped being. It was not an institution but a function. It had no sanction but that of private conscience. ”

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

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
