Quote of the Day (Ursula Le Guin, on the Imagination as a Means of Becoming Human)
“Imagination is not a means of making money. It has
no place in the vocabulary of profit making. It is not a weapon, though all
weapons originate from it, and the use, or nonuse, of all weapons depends on
it, as with all tools and their uses.
The imagination is a fundamental way of thinking, an essential means of
becoming and remaining human. It is a tool of the mind.”—Science-fiction writer
