We will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, and can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine some real grounds for hope.

Le Guin, accepting the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters at the National Book Awards
