Quote by Ursula K. Le Guin

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

“Tėvų namai su visa begaline mano meile - jokių mano intelekto reikalavimų negalėjo patenkinti. O yra jauname amžiuje toks laikotarpis, kad intelektas reiškia daugiau negu širdis. Protas trokšta, leidžiasi pats į beribes erdves, ieško paramos, gal atramos, ieško aiškaus taip ar ne savo klaidžiojančiom mintim... Socialiniai klausimai... Tie socialiniai klausimai tėvų namuose buvo trumpai išsprendžiami Dievo valios sąvoka, o daug kitų klausimų - kaimiškomis tradicijomis.”

It should carefully weigh the chances of truth and error and grade each in its proper position along the line joining absolute truth and absolute error.”
