Famous quotes containing the words ursula k and/or guin:

    The misogyny that shapes every aspect of our civilization is the institutionalized form of male fear and hatred of what they have denied and therefore cannot know, cannot share: that wild country, the being of women.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    Reason is a faculty far larger than mere objective force. When either the political or the scientific discourse announces itself as the voice of reason, it is playing God, and should be spanked and stood in the corner.
    —Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
