“Ged had neither lost nor won but, naming the shadow of his death with his own name, had made himself whole: a man: who, knowing his whole true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and whose life therefore is lived for life's sake and never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or the dark.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

“For magic consists in this, the true naming of a thing.”
― Ursula K. LeGuin, A Wizard of Earthsea

“On the sea he wished to meet it, if meet it he must. He was not sure why this was, yet he had a terror of meeting the thing again on dry land. Out of the sea there rise storms and monsters, but no evil powers: evil is of earth. And there is no sea, no running of river or spring, in the dark land where once Ged had gone. Death is the dry place.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

“As a boy, Ogion like all boys had thought it would be a very pleasant game to take by art-magic whatever shape one liked, man or beast, tree or cloud, and so to play at a thousand beings. But as a wizard he had learned the price of the game, which is the peril of losing one's self, playing away the truth. The longer a man stays in a form not his own, the greater this peril. Every prentice-sorcerer learns the tale of the wizard Bordger of Way, who delighted in taking bear's shape, and did so more and more often until the bear grew in him and the man died away, and he became a bear, and killed his own little son in the forests, and was hunted down and slain. And no one knows how many of the dolphins that leap in the waters of the Inmost Sea were men once, wise men, who forgot their wisdom and their name in the joy of the restless sea.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

“Then Ged pitied her. She was like a white deer caged, like a white bird wing-clipped, like a silver ring in an old man's finger.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

“I named you once, I think," he said, and then strode to his house and entered, bearing the bird still on his wrist.”
― Ursula LeGuin

“Solo en el silencio la palabra, solo en la oscuridad la luz, solo en la muerte la vida; el brillo del halcón brilla en el cielo vacío.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

“When you know the fourfoil in all its seasons root and leaf and flower, by sight and scent and seed, then you may learn its true name, knowing its being: which is more than its use. What, after all, is the use of you? or of myself? Is Gont Mountain useful, or the Open Sea?”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

What, after all, is the use of you? or of myself? Is Gont Mountain useful, or the Open Sea?' Ogion went on a halfmile or so, and said at last, 'To hear, one must be silent.”

“Encender una vela es proyectar una sombra...”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

“A medida que un hombre adquiere más poder y sabiduría, se le estrecha el camino, hasta que al fin no elige, y hace pura y simplemente lo que tiene que hacer...”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

“Los buenos terminan triunfando. ¿O quizá los triunfadores terminan siendo los buenos?”
