" Between thought and spoken word is a gap where intention can enter, the symbol be twisted aside, and the lie come to be. Between thought and sent-thought is no gap; they are one act. There is no room for the lie. "

― Ursula K. Le Guin , Worlds of Exile and Illusion: Rocannon’s World, Planet of Exile, City of Illusions (Hainish Cycle, #1-3)
