Ursula K. Le Guin Quote
The future, in fiction, is a metaphor.A metaphor for what?If I could have said it non-metaphorically, I would not have written all these words, this novel; and Genly Ai would never have sat down at my desk and used up my ink and typewriter ribbon in informing me, and you, rather solemnly,that the truth is a matter of the imagination.
