All Death quotes Ursula K. Le Guin’s page
Ursula K. Le Guin writes that darkness exists only in the eye that thinks it sees, and that naming death can make a person feel whole. She describes life and death as opposite sides that give birth to each other, and suggests that even in absence there is a hidden presence.
![“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting ... Instead of seeing birth as an awakening from blank nonbeing and fetal incompletion into the child's fullness of being, and seeing maturity as a narrowing, impoverishing journey toward blank death, [Wordsworth's] ode proposes that a soul enters life…” quote by Ursula K.
