The first part of this quote usually takes the stage and is well-known in radical circles. But I never realized how the last sentence of this quote is basically an argument for #solarpunk in general, and solarpunk fiction in particular.
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
