"If you see a whole thing - it seems that it's always beautiful. Planets, lives... But up close a world's all dirt and rocks. And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern"
- Ursula K. Le Guin
About this Quote
This quote by Ursula K. Le Guin highlights the contrast between the understanding of something from a range versus the truth of experiencing it up close. From afar, things may seem best and lovely, like planets and lives. Nevertheless, upon closer examination, the truth is often much various. The world is full of flaws, represented by the "dirt and rocks." Similarly, while life may seem attractive and amazing from a distance, the day-to-day reality is typically filled with obstacles and hard work.
