There is no society that does not highly value fictional storytelling. Ever.
Orson Scott Card
So I want to ask you a hypothetical question. My favorite kind. Next to rhetorical ones. I can nap equally well through either kind.
Orson Scott Card
There's always hope... even when there isn't faith. And sometimes, without hope or faith, there must be charity.
Orson Scott Card
As he thought of it, though, he could not imagine what “just living” might actually be. He had never done it in his life. But he wanted to do it anyway.
