More From Ursula K. Le Guin
- "We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains."
- "It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope."
- "I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant."
