For her as for him, there was no end. There was process: process was all. You could go in a promising direction or you could go wrong, but you did not set out with the expectation of ever stopping anywhere. All responsibilities, all commitments thus understood took on substance and duration.
Ursula K. Le Guin – The Dispossessed

Ursula K. Le Guin – The Dispossessed
