A broken clock is right two times a day.
Orson Scott Card
In philosophy class I think we finally decided that 'good' is an infinitely recursive term - it can't be defined except in terms of itself. Good is good because it's better than bad, though why it's better to be good than bad depends on how you define good, and on and on.
Orson Scott Card
Sickness and healing are in every heart death and deliverance in every hand.
Orson Scott Card
If only we were wiser or better people, perhaps the gods would explain to us the mad, unbearable things they do.
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.

Quim, she said, don't ever try to teach me about good and evil. I've been there, and you've seen nothing but a map.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
Maybe we're the fools, for thinking we know things. Maybe humans are the only ones who can deal with the fact that nothing can ever be known at all.
Orson Scott Card
Rumors are the sauce of a dry life.
Orson Scott Card
At last he came to a door, with these words in glowing emeralds: THE END OF THE WORLD He did not hesitate. He opened the door and stepped through.
Orson Scott Card
So I want to ask you a hypothetical question. My favorite kind. Next to rhetorical ones. I can nap equally well through either kind.
Orson Scott Card
Thank you for this, Peter. For dry eyes and silent weeping. You taught me how to hide anything i felt. More than ever, i need that now.
Orson Scott Card
Sometimes you have to trust people enough to let them succeed and love them enough to let them fail.
Orson Scott Card
You were faster than me. Better than me. I was too old and cautious. Any decent person who knos waht warfare is can never go into battle with a whole heart. But you didn't know. We made sure youo didn't know. You were reckless and brilliant and young. It's waht you were born for.
Orson Scott Card
A good working definition of fanaticism is that you are so convinced of your views and policies that you are sure that anyone who opposed them must be either stupid and decieved or have some ulterior motive. We are today a nation where almost everyone in the public eye displays fanaticism with every utterance.

I want to be the kind of boy you are, thought Bean. But I don’t want to go through what you’ve been through to get there.

With life. Rooter says that life is how God gives purpose to the universe.
Orson Scott Card
Twisted and perverse are the ways of the human mind, Jane intoned. Pinocchio was such a dolt to try to become a real boy. He was much better off with a wooden head.
Orson Scott Card
I'm right here. This is who I really am. I'm not pretending.
