Ursula K. Le Guin
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
Ursula K. Le Guin

“Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens”
Tony DeLiso, Legacy: The Power Within: The Power Within
