Ursula K. Le Guin Quotes About Time

Quotes about: Time

• 

  Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.

  Ursula K. Le Guin

  Love, Life, Relationship

  The Lathe of Heaven ch. 10 (1971)

• Well, we think that time "passes," flows past us, but what if it is we who move forward, from past to future, always discovering the new? It would be a little like reading a book, you see. The book is all there, all at once, between its covers. But if you want to read the story and understand it, you must begin with the first page, and go forward, always in order. So the universe would be a very great book, and we would be very small readers.

  Ursula K. Le Guin
