More quotes by Orson Scott Card
Because never in my entire childhood did I feel like a child. I felt like a person all along―the same person that I am today.
Orson Scott Card
Dona Crista laughed a bit. Oh, Pip, I'd be glad for you to try. But do believe me, my dear friend, touching her heart is like bathing in ice. I imagine. I imagine it feels like bathing in ice to the person touching her. But how does it feel to her? Cold as she is, it must surely burn like fire.
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
Your work is first, learning is first, winning is everything because without it there is nothing.
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
Working is hard and distracts from having fun.
Orson Scott Card
For it is in the millions of small melodies that the truth of history is always found, for history only matters because of the effects we see or imagine in the lives of the ordinary people who are caught up in, or give shape to, the great events.
Orson Scott Card
She worked her toes into the sand, feeling the tiny delicious pain of the friction of tiny chips of silicon against the tender flesh between her toes. That's life. It hurts, it's dirty, and it feels very, very good.
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
With life. Rooter says that life is how God gives purpose to the universe.
Orson Scott Card
From all wise men, O Lord, protect us.
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
It's simple. Nothing exists except in relation to something else.
Orson Scott Card
It has been my experience that the better a man you are, the more folks there are who resent you for it, and find occasion to get angry at you no matter how kindly meant your deeds may be.
Orson Scott Card
His vices were the vices of his time and culture, but his virtues transcended the milieu of his life.
Orson Scott Card
A character is what he does, yes - but even more, a character is what he means to do.
Orson Scott Card
But whether there's some grand design really matters little to me. My only hope was this: to see what might be, to believe that it should be, and then to do all I could to bring it to pass, whatever the cost.
Orson Scott Card
Faith doesn't mean you never doubt. It only means you never act upon your doubts.
Orson Scott Card
You’re not a human being until you value something more than the life of your body. And the greater the thing you live and die for the greater you are.
Orson Scott Card
Peter, you're twelve years old. I'm ten. They have a word for people our age. They call us children and they treat us like mice.
