I always think of books as being like people. Even the dull ones are worthy of decent respect, but you don't have to seek them out and spend time with them.

If he was a good man, how could he leave me? So he must not be a good man. But if he isn't good, then why does it hurt so much to lose him?
Orson Scott Card
Legalizing gay marriage is not about making it possible for gay people to become couples. It's about giving the Left the power to force anti-religious values on our children. Once they legalize gay marriage, it will be the bludgeon they use to make sure that it becomes illegal to teach traditional values in the schools.
Orson Scott Card
It's easy to manipulate your children when they're absolutely sure you're stupid.
Orson Scott Card
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
When both parties are lying and they both know the other party's lying, it comes powerful close to being the same thing as telling the truth.
Orson Scott Card
I looked for perfection, and I found something better.
Orson Scott Card
You take a step, then another. That's the journey. But to take a step with your eyes open is not a journey at all, it's a remaking of your own mind.
Orson Scott Card
I merely observe that all living things are manipulated. As long as there is a will, it is bent and twisted constantly. Only the dead are allowed the luxury of freedom, and then only because they want nothing, and therefore can't be thwarted.
Orson Scott Card
It's what I was born for, isn't it? If I don't go, why am I alive?
Orson Scott Card
The fear of death in the one place was not as strong as another kind of fear, the fear of a world gone crazy, a place where anything could happen, where nothing could be trusted, where nothing was certain. A terrible place.
Orson Scott Card
I don't believe that there are aliens. I believe there are really different people.
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
You frighten me, when you say there isn't time. I don't see why. Christians have been expecting the imminent end of the world for millennia. But it keeps not ending. So far, so good.
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
I have lived in the only decades I could have lived in, and hope to live through at least a few more.
Orson Scott Card
The story itself, the true story, is the one that the audience members create in their minds, guided and shaped by my text, but then transformed, elucidated, expanded, edited, and clarified by their own experience, their own desires, their own hopes and fears.
Orson Scott Card
Good people do not let others suffer needlessly.
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
Rumors are the sauce of a dry life.
Orson Scott Card
The only true vision comes not from God but from the inmost recesses of the human mind.
