  2. Ursula K. Le Guin _ Un mago de Terramar I

    - Si continúas así, si sigues huyendo, dondequiera que huyas siempre encontrarás el peligro y el mal, porque es ella la que te lleva, la que elige tu camino. Eres tú quien ha de elegir. Tienes que hostigar a quien te hostiga. Tienes que perseguir al cazador. - Ogión

  3. Ursula K. Le Guin _ Always Coming Home

    With ceremony, with forms of politeness and reassurance, they borrowed the waters of the River and its little confluents to drink and be clean and irrigate with, using water mindfully, carefully. They lived in a land that answers greed with drought and death. A difficult land: aloof yet sensitive.

  5. Ursula K. Le Guin _ The Language of the Night:

    For fantasy is true, of course. It isn't factual, but it's true. Children know that. Adults know it too and that's precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living. They are afraid of dragons because they are afraid of freedom.

  8. Ursula K. Le Guin

    The Sun Going SouthIn late sunshine I wander troubled.Restless I wander in autumn sunlight.Too many changes, partings, and deaths.Doors have closed that were always open.Trees that held the sky up are cut down.So much that I alone remember!This creek runs dry among its stones.Souls of the dead, come drink this water!Come into this side valley with me

    They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they {...} become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

    A man who doesn't detest a bad government is a fool. And if there were such a thing as a good government in earth, it would be a great joy to serve it.
