When I am drunk I am at my best. It is the national knack of the French.
Orson Scott Card
If I wanted to doubt, then I could doubt endlessly, but at some point a person has to stop questioning and act, and at that point you have to trust something to be true.

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
The essence of training is to allow error without consequence.
Orson Scott Card
So the whole war is because we can't talk to each other.
Orson Scott Card
The most important training, though, is to experience life as a writer, questioning everything, inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that, all the other things will come if you don't, there's no hope for you.
Orson Scott Card
We were all fated to die, and so it is good that at least we can be sure our deaths today might bring about a good end, might make the world a better place.
Orson Scott Card
When you really know someone, you can't hate him.
Orson Scott Card
This emotion I'm feeling now, this is love, right? I don't know. Is it a longing? Is it a giddy stupid happiness just because you're with me? Yes, she said. That's influenza, said Miro. Watch for nausea or diarrhea within a few hours.
Orson Scott Card
Please don't disillusion me. I haven't had breakfast yet.
