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

Orson Scott Card
The ways of love are strange and hard: The love you want is always barred The love you have you want to change. The ways of love are hard and strange.
Orson Scott Card
I'm putting you in Dink Meeker's toon. From now on, as far as you're concerned, Dink Meeker is God. Then who are you? The personnel officer who hired God.
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
The only way to retrieve a secret,once known, is to replace it with a lie.
Orson Scott Card
God, our genes, our environment, or some stupid programmer keying in code at an ancient terminal - there's no way free will can ever exist if we as individuals are the result of some external cause.
Orson Scott Card
