From Ursula K. Le Guin, Conversations on Writing, Ursula K. Le Guin with David Naimon, Tin House Books, 2017
"But all we can do is imagine our way into the other. And be very, very, very careful at every step, that we are not co-opting that other. Taking it over and putting our voice where we are trying to imagine what its voice is or would be. Eternal vigilance is required."
From Ursula K. Le Guin, Conversations on Writing, Ursula K. Le Guin with David Naimon, Tin House Books, 2017 "Whatever may happen to the arts in bad times, the verbal arts, at least, tend to become very important. It's really important what you say in the bad times."
From Ursula K. Le Guin, Conversations on Writing, Ursula K. Le Guin with David Naimon, Tin House Books, 2017 "Maybe we should make this into a book!" Ursula answered.
From Ursula K. Le Guin, Conversations on Writing, Ursula K. Le Guin with David Naimon, Tin House Books, 2017 "But even the most unmissionary soul, unless he pretend he has no emotions, is sometimes faced with a choice between commission and omission. 'What are they doing?' abruptly becomes, 'What are we doing?' and then, 'What must I do?'
From The Word for World is Forest, Ursula K. Le Guin "...but poems come in their own, different way. It tends to be a few words or even just a beat, with a kind of aura about them, and you know then that there is the possibility of a poem there."
