"To oppose something is to maintain it.
"They say here 'all roads lead to [the capital].' To be sure, if you turn your back on [the capital] and walk away from it, you are still on the [capital] road. To oppose vulgarity is inevitably to be vulgar. You must go somewhere else; you must have another goal; then you walk a different road."
~Ursula K. LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness
(Yes, this does mean I'm working on my next-to-last book challenge fill. Time will be tight, but I'm optimistic.)
