Though we never met, Ursula K Le Guin was the closest to a mother I ever had. I am so grateful.

I finished a re-read of The Left Hand of Darkness on the 22nd, not knowing at that moment that she had passed away. We are so lucky to have her words.
I can barely find words...
We are so lucky to have her words, her Worlds, her characters and stories. I'll treasure them in my heart forever.
Thank you, Ursula Le Guin. You've taught me so much. And still teaching me.
Thank you.

Thank you.
I, too, was shaped and molded by her words. Her books, quite literally, turned me into the lifelong reader I am. Reading shapes my life every single day; reading is who I
am
. I will forever be grateful to her. May all those who loved her find peace and strength.

I recently reread Gifts: “Stories are what death thinks he puts an end to. He can't understand that they end in him, but they don't end with him.”
" En sevdiğiniz yazar?" sorusuna hiç düşünmeden tereddütsüz verdiğim cevaptır Ursula. Oralarda bir yerlerde olduğunu, nefes aldığını, yüreğinin çarptığını bilmek bile iyi geliyordu bana. Öyle üzgün öyle üzgünüm ki şimdi.Her kitabından sonra başka biri oldum ben. Donattın, güçlendirdin, hayatıma, ruhuma dokundun. Çok şey borçluyum sana.
Şimdi seni ejderhaların kanadında sonsuzluğa uğurlarken tek tesellim seninle aynı çağda yaşamış olmak.
İyi ki vardın, iyi ki yazdın, iyi ki büyüledin bizi. Hayatıma kattığın her şey için sonsuz teşekkürler.
Bye bye Dear Ursula.I hope that, you will be write new exciting books about at the other dimension...
Sad, sad news. One of my favorite writers.
She is and always will be my favorite author. Her books will live on and those she inspires will add to them.
I cried! (the first time since my mum died)
Farewell lady of the word, heil to your books, amen to your passing. We won't forget you.
Only in silence the word,Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk's flight
On the empty sky.
- The Creation of Ea
Peace to one of the last remaining writers who understood what fantasy is really about.
It's been a few days and I am still heartbroken by this news. I never met Ms. Le Guin, but her books definitely left their mark on my life.
Oh... Ursula. You've left this body. Congratulations :) How you've touched my heart. You never knew it, and you've helped open the door to the great mystery for me. You were the first introduction to stillness of mind in my agnostic hardened youthful days."The valley spirit never dies.
Call it the master, the woman.
The master,
the Door of the Woman,
is the root
of earth and heaven.
Forever this endures, forever
And all its uses are easy."
Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching, Ursula Le Guin
Ella inspiró y tocó mi alma como pocos lo han hecho en los libros; sus historias son, para mí, las mejores en cuanto al uso de la magia, y sus personajes son de mis favoritos de todos los tiempos, adiós estimada dama, tendré tu obra por siempre en mi corazón.
In Beauty, much love sent for her journey
Rest in Peace. Your intelligence, wisdom and observations will be much missed. My book group will read A Wizard of Earthsea in your honor and memory. I hope many others will take this opportunity to reread or to discover your writing.
Thank you for touching both my mind and heart.
So sad. I will miss Ursula and her unique voice she brought to the literary world. Her story, Sur, is one of my favorites.
I feel sad that I was only picked up The Lathe of Heaven after her death. May your soul rest in peace.
