Orson Scott Card
It wasn't so bad being a slave when your owner was yourself and stood up for you.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
Parents always make their worst mistakes with their oldest children. That's when parents know the least and care the most, so they're more likely to be wrong and also more likely to insist that they're right.
Orson Scott Card
With false names, on the right nets, they could be anybody. Old men, middle-aged women, anybody, as long as they were careful about the way they wrote. All that anyone would see were their words, their ideas. Every citizen started equal, on the nets.
Orson Scott Card
A duel is just two murders who agree to take turns trying to kill each other.
Orson Scott Card
If desire did not dim the brain, nobody would ever get married, drunk, or fat. ~Val
Orson Scott Card
I'll have that someday, thought Peter. Someone who'll kiss me good-bye at the door. Or maybe just someone to put a blindfold over my head before they shoot me. Depending on how things turn out.
Orson Scott Card
We've devoted our lives to learning about them! Miro said. Ender stopped. Not from them.
