Quote by Ursula K. Le Guin

“Ged, who was always very strong-minded, always saying things that surprised me and doing things he wasn't supposed to do, took over completely in this book. He was determined to show me how his life must end, and why. I tried to keep up with him, but he was always ahead. I rewrote the book more times than I want to remember, trying to keep him under some kind of control.”

“Arren vide sempre meglio i draghi che si libravano nella brezza mattutina, e il suo cuore trasalì di gioia nell'assistere a quel volo. Vi era racchiusa tutta la gloria della mortalità. La bellezza dei draghi era fatta di una forza terribile, della più totale ferocia e nel contempo della grazia della ragione. Perché si trattava di creature pensanti, dotate della capacità di parlare e di un'antica saggezza: nella leggiadria del loro volo c'era una fiera armonia. Arren non parlò ma pensò: "Non mi interessa cosa succederà d'ora in poi. Ho visto i draghi volare nel vento del mattino.”

“Mit jedem Schritt hin zur Erkenntnis der Wahrheit, fühlt man sich selbstsicherer. Je mehr Zweifel überwunden werden, und je mehr das Selbstvertrauen wächst, desto stärker wird der eigene Wille; und je näher man zur Wahrheit gelangt, desto mehr Licht wird man sehen. Was ist dieses Licht? Es ist das Licht der Selbst-Verwirklichung. (S. 57)”

“es ist Erfindungsgeist, der aus Mangel entsteht, der uns kreativ macht. Dieser hat uns Menschen weitergebracht, weil wir in der Not über uns hinauswachsen. In unserer Zivilisation aber kommen uns Stärke und Behändigkeit langsam abhanden. Der zivilisierte Mensch mit all seinen Maschinen ist dem Abenteurer im Alltag zwar weit überlegen, diejenigen aber, die ohne diese Mittel auskommen müssen, bleiben auch dann überlebensfähig, wenn alle technischen Hilfen versagen. Selbstvertrauen hat zuletzt mit Überlebensfähigkeit zu tun. Je mehr wir von Hilfen abhängig sind, umso weniger ist unser Selbstvertrauen wert.”
