Ursula K. Le Guin
“I know that many men and even women are afraid and angry when women do speak, because in this barbaric society, when women speak truly they speak subversively - they can't help it: if you're underneath, if you're kept down, you break out, you subvert. We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.

That's what I want - to hear you erupting. You young Mount St. Helenses who don't know the power in you - I want to hear you.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin

I'm gonna use it as an upcoming "Quote of the Week."


The one I think I will wind up using this week is this one:

“The laziest thing in the world is to be a cynic. Because then you just give up. You don’t have to do anything. Right? Hope takes work. But hope is also a fact. And I see so many hopeful people involved in this right now and it makes me happy for THEM.”
- Connie Schultz, author, columnist, “Hopefully Yours” on Substack, 8-7-23
