The Lathe of Heaven / The Dispossessed / The Wind's Twelve Quarters Quotes

“There is a bird in a poem by T. S. Eliot who says that mankind cannot bear very much reality; but the bird is mistaken. A man can endure the entire weight of the universe for eighty years. It is unreality that he cannot bear.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven / The Dispossessed / The Wind's Twelve Quarters

“Bir kabusta yaşıyorum, diye geçirdi içinden, arada bir uykumda ayılabildiğim bir kabusta.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven / The Dispossessed / The Wind's Twelve Quarters

“I don't know. Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It IS and we ARE. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven / The Dispossessed / The Wind's Twelve Quarters
