More quotes by Orson Scott Card

A broken clock is right two times a day.
Orson Scott Card
For children love is a feeling for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.
Orson Scott Card
It just gripes me hollow, the way God always sneaks in to take the credit.
Orson Scott Card
Good people do not let others suffer needlessly.
Orson Scott Card
I don't care if I pass your test, I don't care if I follow your rules. If you can cheat, so can I. I won't let you beat me unfairly - I'll beat you unfairly first. - Ender

As long as you keep getting born, it's alright to die some times.
Orson Scott Card
All the common people want is to be left alone. All the ordinary soldier wants is to collect his pay and not get killed. That's why the great forces of history can be manipulated by astonishingly small groups of determined people.
Orson Scott Card
Well, how do I know that they don't know the answer unless I ask?
Orson Scott Card
