Orson Scott Card
You know how writers are... they create themselves as they create their work. Or perhaps they create their work in order to create themselves.
Orson Scott Card
The only way to learn is by changing your mind.
Orson Scott Card
I taught you everything you know. But I didn't teach you everything I know.
Orson Scott Card
Home is where the people who live there need me to come home to them, and worry about me when I'm gone. There's no such place on this earth, no matter how far I drive.
Orson Scott Card
