Ursula K. Le Guin Quotes About Eyes

• The book itself is a curious artifact, not showy in its technology but complex and extremely efficient: a really neat little device, compact, often very pleasant to look at and handle, that can last decades, even centuries. It doesn't have to be plugged in, activated, or performed by a machine; all it needs is light, a human eye, and a human mind. It is not one of a kind, and it is not ephemeral. It lasts. It is reliable.

• Nuestras raíces están en la oscuridad; la tierra es nuestro país. ¿Por qué miramos hacia arriba en busca de bendición, en lugar de alrededor y hacia abajo? La esperanza que tenemos reside ahí. No en el cielo lleno de ojos espías en órbita y armamento, sino en la tierra que hemos mirado hacia abajo. No desde arriba, sino desde abajo. No en la luz que ciega, sino en la oscuridad que alimenta, donde los seres humanos cultivan almas humanas.

• It is only when science asks why, instead of simply describing how, that it becomes more than technology. When it asks why, it discovers Relativity. When it only shows how, it invents the atom bomb, and then puts its hands over its eye and says, My God what have I done?

• Meeting writers is always so disappointing. I got over wanting to meet live writers quite a long time ago. There is this terrific book that has changed your life, and then you meet the author, and he has shifty eyes and funny shoes and he won't talk about anything except the injustice of the United States income tax structure toward people with fluctuating income, or how to breed Black Angus cows, or something.

• Desde entonces creyó que el hombre sabio es aquel que nunca se aparta de los demás seres vivos, tengan o no habla, y en años posteriores se esforzó mucho por aprender lo que se puede aprender, en silencio, de los ojos de los animales, del vuelo de los pájaros, de los grandes gestos lentos de los árboles.

• We scarcely know how much of our pleasure and interest in life comes to us through our eyes until we have to do without them; and part of that pleasure is that the eyes can choose where to look. But the ears can't choose where to listen.

• Saying that, he was suddenly himself again, despite his lunatic hair and eyes: a man whose personal dignity went so deep as to be nearly invisible... It was more than diginity. Integrity? Wholeness? Like a block of wood not carved. The infinite possibility, the unlimited and unqualified wholeness of being of the uncommitted, the nonacting, the uncarved: the being who, being nothing but himself, is everything.

• It was easy to share when there was enough, even barely enough, to go round. But when there was not enough? Then force entered in; might making right; power, and its tool, violence, and its most devoted ally, the averted eye.

• The Earth is beautiful, and bright, and kindly, but that is not all. The Earth is also terrible, and dark, and cruel. The rabbit shrieks dying in the green meadows. The mountains clench their great hands full of hidden fire. There are sharks in the sea, and there is cruelty in men's eyes.

• La ciencia ficción no es predictiva; es descriptiva.... La predicción es cosa de profetas, clarividentes y futurólogos. No es asunto de los novelistas. El negocio de un novelista es mentir.... Abre los ojos, escucha, escucha. Eso es lo que dicen los novelistas. Pero no te dicen lo que vas a ver y oír. Todo lo que pueden decirte es lo que han visto y oído en el tiempo que llevan en este mundo, un tercio del cual lo han pasado durmiendo y soñando, y otro tercio del tiempo lo han pasado contando mentiras.
