Going to read some short stories by Ursula K. Le Guine this weekend. To get me in the mood, I have this quote from her acceptance speech during the (American) National Book Awards in 2014:

“Books aren’t just commodities; the profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, 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.”
