The difference between raman and varelse is not in the creature judged, but in the creature judging. When we declare an alien species to be raman, it does not mean that they have passed a threshold of moral maturity. It means that we have.
Orson Scott Card
We've devoted our lives to learning about them! Miro said. Ender stopped. Not from them.
Orson Scott Card
We don't admit it to ourselves, not until the very moment of death, but in that moment, we see all life before us and we understand how we chose, every day of our lives, the manner of our death.
Orson Scott Card
Satanic Verses is a despicable book that could not have been written by a person who wished to behave decently and responsibly.
Orson Scott Card
When there aren't any smart decisions, I suppose you just have to pick the stupid decision you like best.

Orson Scott Card
Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
