Ursula K. Le Guin, The Secret History of Fantasy
"I want to say to the literature teacher who remains wilfully, even boastfully ignorant of a major element of contemporary fiction: you are incompetent to teach or judge your subject. Readers and students who do know the field, meanwhile, have every right to challenge your ignorant prejudice. Rise, undergraduates of the English departments! You have nothing to lose but your A on the midterm!"

"أود أن أقول لأستاذ الأدب الذي يصرّ عن عمد، بل يتباهى بجهله لعنصر رئيسي من عناصر الرواية المعاصرة: إنك غير مؤهل لتدريس مادتك أو الحكم عليها. وفي الوقت نفسه، يحق للقراء والطلاب الذين يدركون هذا المجال تمامًا أن يتحدوا تحيزك الجاهل. انهضوا يا طلاب الأقسام الإنجليزية! ليس لديكم ما تخسرونه سوى درجة "ممتاز" في الامتحان النصفي!"
