Orson Scott Card
Once you get a brother, you don’t give him up easy.
Orson Scott Card
Human beings do metamorphose. They change their identity constantly. However, each new identity thrives on the delusion that it was always in possession of the body it has just conquered.
Orson Scott Card
I always tell the truth about what I’m selling, and then nobody buys it.
Orson Scott Card
Never mind that the story had turned out to be lies and foolishness—there was always folks stupid enough to say, Where there's smoke there's fire, when the saying should have been, Where there's scandalous lies there's always malicious believers and spreaders-around, regardless of evidence.
Orson Scott Card
I always tell what I believe. Whether it's true, I'm no more sure than any man.
Orson Scott Card
I think you don't grow up until you stop worrying about other people's purposes or lack of them and find the purposes you believe in for yourself.
Orson Scott Card
