"But housekeeping, the art of the infinite, is no game for amateurs." Sur, 1982, by Ursula K. Le Guin
I am not good at housekeeping, and feel bad about it. After reading that Those Who Stay and Fight was a reaction to one of Le Guin's short stories, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, (also referenced in a BTS music video), I wanted to read that story as well. It is in The Unreal and the Real volume 2 Outer Space, Inner Lands, which I checked out at the library. Well worth reading. And another quote, from the end of the preface written in 2012:
"I don't know anything about reality, but I know what I like."
