More quotes by Orson Scott Card
The Lord took twice the time making thee, Alvin Smith, cause it took that long to put the mischief in.
Orson Scott Card
We care about moral issues, nobility, decency, happiness, goodness—the issues that matter in the real world, but which can only be addressed, in their purity, in fiction.
Orson Scott Card
The univers is statistically more likely to be ironic than not.
Orson Scott Card
Just because the only way you can maintain control over your bodily passions is to sit straight in your chair, knees together, hands delicately arranged in our lap, fingers tightly intertwined, does not mean that I am required to do the same.
Orson Scott Card
Does it help if we're so strong-willed, stubborn, ambitious, and selfish that we always overcome everything in our way no matter what? asked Wang-mu. I think those are the pertinent virtues, yes, said Peter. Then let's do it. That's us in spades.
Orson Scott Card
I am a creature of chemicals.
Orson Scott Card
We thought we were the only thinking beings in the universe, until we met you, but never did we dream that thought could arise from the lonely animals who cannot dream each other's dreams
Orson Scott Card
Sickness and healing are in every heart death and deliverance in every hand.

There's no need to legalize gay marriage. I have plenty of gay friends who are committed couples some of them call themselves married, some don't, but their friends treat them as married. Anybody who doesn't like it just doesn't hang out with them.
Orson Scott Card
I'm crazy, said Ender. But I think I'm OK.
Orson Scott Card
Reasonable argument is impossible when authority becomes the arbiter.
Orson Scott Card
Legalizing gay marriage is not about making it possible for gay people to become couples. It's about giving the Left the power to force anti-religious values on our children. Once they legalize gay marriage, it will be the bludgeon they use to make sure that it becomes illegal to teach traditional values in the schools.
Orson Scott Card
I always tell what I believe. Whether it's true, I'm no more sure than any man.
Orson Scott Card
It's the middle class that feels the luxury of being able to have causes.
Orson Scott Card
Once you have the gallows, you'll find new reasons to hang people from it.
Orson Scott Card
If you give orders and explain nothing, you might get obedience, but you'll get no creativity. If you tell them your purpose, then when your original plan is shown to be faulty, they'll find another way to achieve your goal. Explaining to your men doesn't weaken their respect for you, it proves your respect for them.
Orson Scott Card
A weak King must be what other Kings have been a strong King is himself, and from then on the meaning of the name of King is changed.
Orson Scott Card
He kissed her and killed her then dumped her body in the river.
Orson Scott Card
I have too many secrets. For all these years I've been a speaker for the dead, uncovering secrets and helping people to live in the light of truth. Now I no longer tell anyone half of what I know, because if I told the whole truth there would be fear, hatred, brutality, murder, war.
Orson Scott Card
I think that a good person can sometimes do wrong out of ignorance or weakness or wrong thinking, but when hard times come, the goodness wins out after all. And a bad person can often seem good and trustworthy for a long time, but when hard times come, the evil in him gets revealed.
