You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”
Ursula K. Le Guin — The Dispossessed, 1974
I'm speaking on a panel about the influence and inspiration of Ursual K. Le Guin at @BradfordLitFest on Saturday #BLF2018
When women speak truly they speak subversively — they can’t help it: if you’re underneath, if you’re kept down, you break out, you subvert. We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains - 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 - Ursula K. Le Guin
Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society...to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom...- Le Guin
People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.— Ursula K. Le Guin, from A Wave in the Mind
