Dragons Hunger Hard

More From Ursula K. Le Guin

We have reached the age, those of us to whom fortune has assigned a post in life's struggle, when beaten and smashed and biffed by the lashing of the dragon's tail, we begin to appreciate that the old man was not such a fool after all. we saw our parents wrestling with the same dragon, and we thought, though we never spoke a thought aloud, 'why doesn't he hit him on the head?' alas, comrads, we know now. we have hit the dragon on the head and we have seen the dragon smile.

Wake up, america. the insurance companies took over health care. wake up, america. the pharmaceutical companies took over drug pricing. wake up, america. the speculators took over wall street. wake up, america. they want to take your social security. wake up, america. multinational corporations took over our trade policies, factories are closing, good paying jobs lost. wake up, america. we went into iraq for oil.

It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. so it happens that when i write of hunger, i am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.
Food Writing Reality
We sleep to time's hurdy-gurdy; we wake, if ever we wake, to the silence of god. and then, when we wake to the deep shores of time uncreated, then when the dazzling dark breaks over the far slopes of time, then it's time to toss things, like our reason, and our will; then it's time to break our necks for home. there are no events but thoughts and the heart's hard turning, the heart's slow learning where to love and whom. the rest is merely gossip, and tales for other times.

Light takes the tree; but who can tell us how? the lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; i wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. great nature has another thing to do to you and me, so take the lively air, and, lovely, learn by going where to go. this shaking keeps me steady. i should know. what falls away is always. and is near. i wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. i learn by going where i have to go.

Similar Quotes
Once again, only religion can answer the question of the purpose of life. one can hardly be wrong in concluding that the idea of life having a purpose stands and falls with the religious system.
Religious Fall Ideas
My peak? would i even have one? i hardly had had anything you could call a life. a few ripples, some rises and falls. but that's it. almost nothing. nothing born of nothing. i'd loved and been loved, but i had nothing to show. it was a singularly plain, featureless landscape. i felt like i was in a video game. a surrogate pacman, crunching blindly through a labyrinth of dotted lines. the only certainty was my death.

I know the truth now. you've figured out i'm falling in love with you and you're trying to make me stop by hurting me this way. well it won't work.
I Love You Falling In Love Hurt
Why do you rant and brag with such a spate of words, as if you wanted to overwhelm me with a sort of tempest and deluge of oratory-which nevertheless falls with the greater force on your own head, while my ark rides aloft in safety?
