"Those who build walls are their own prisoners. I'm going to go fulfill my proper function in the social organism. I'm going to go unbuild walls."

Ursula K. Le Guin was born #OTD 96 years ago. When I read 'The Dispossessed' a while back I remember having to constantly stop and think about what I had just read. Few #books have had such an impact on me.

Thanks for showing us alternatives to how we live.
