   Ursula K. Le Guin was unique and ahead of her time, not only for her progressive stances and her ability to evolve as an author and as a person, but especially for the themes she explored. Having as their core the belief that change is achievable, no matter how much things seem to be set in stone, and that hope, growth, initiative, and resistance matter, making her work still extremely relevant today.

     "Nobody has a sharper eye for imaginative constructions that masquerade as indisputable reality: she knew Henry Kissinger and Robert McNamara could conjure up imaginary worlds better than Tolkien."

     @fringemagnet She's been one of my favorite authors since I was a teenager. Just achingly beautiful or imagination-firing stuff!

     @fringemagnet I read earthsea at, I think, 13 or so, and have been in love with her writing ever since. Just hauntingly beautiful and mature and... no words really
