"Books, you know, they're not just commodities. The profit motive often
is in conflict with the aims of art. 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..."I think hard
times are coming," Le Guin continued, "when we will be wanting the
voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now and can
see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to
other ways of being, and even imagine some real grounds for hope. We
will need writers who can remember freedom. Poets, visionaries — the
realists of a larger reality.”
