Top 5 quotes from Ursula K. LeGuin

"I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy."
"What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?"
"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end."
"Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new."
