More quotes by Orson Scott Card
I wonder sometimes if the motivation for writers ought to be contempt, not admiration.
Orson Scott Card
You’re not a human being until you value something more than the life of your body. And the greater the thing you live and die for the greater you are.
Orson Scott Card
A character is what he does, yes - but even more, a character is what he means to do.
Orson Scott Card
No human being, when you understand his desires, is worthless. No one's life is nothing. Even the most evil of men and women, if you understand their hearts, had some generous act that redeems them, at least a little, from their sins.
Orson Scott Card
For children love is a feeling for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.
Orson Scott Card
Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf.
Orson Scott Card
I think that a good person can sometimes do wrong out of ignorance or weakness or wrong thinking, but when hard times come, the goodness wins out after all. And a bad person can often seem good and trustworthy for a long time, but when hard times come, the evil in him gets revealed.
Orson Scott Card
From all wise men, O Lord, protect us.

Where ideas are real and reality is shadow.
Orson Scott Card
...the thing with brothers is, you're supposed to take turns being the keeper. Sometimes you get to sit down and be the brother who is kept.
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
I listen to music constantly while writing.
Orson Scott Card
I want to be the kind of boy you are, thought Bean. But I don’t want to go through what you’ve been through to get there.
Orson Scott Card
He is dead, she thought bitterly, because we have forgotten him.
Orson Scott Card
The Lord took twice the time making thee, Alvin Smith, cause it took that long to put the mischief in.
Orson Scott Card
Religion is tied to the deepest feelings people have. The love that arises from that stewing pot is the sweetest and strongest, but the hate is the hottest, and the anger is the most violent.
Orson Scott Card
[T]he politically correct are above the rules of ordinary civility, once they have identified you as an unbeliever in their religion.
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
How short life is for fools.
