Ursula K. Le Guin Quotes

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. And with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. In life is death. In death is rebirth. What then is life without death? Life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-What is it but death-death without rebirth?

Ursula K. Le Guin

Eroticism is first and foremost a thirst for otherness. And the supernatural is the supreme otherness.

Octavio Paz

Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it? C. S. Lewis
