Ursula K. Le Guin -- "A Left-Handed Commencement - TopicsExpress



          

Ursula K. Le Guin -- "A Left-Handed Commencement Address" Delivered 22 May 1983, Mills College, Oakland, Calif. "Success is somebody else’s failure. Success is the American Dream we can keep dreaming because most people in most places, including thirty million of ourselves, live wide awake in the terrible reality of poverty. No, I do not wish you success. I don’t even want to talk about it. I want to talk about failure. Because you are human beings you are going to meet failure. You are going to meet disappointment, injustice, betrayal, and irreparable loss. You will find you’re weak where you thought yourself strong. You’ll work for possessions and then find they possess you. You will find yourself — as I know you already have — in dark places, alone, and afraid."
