Orson Scott Card
In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.
Orson Scott Card
We thought we were the only thinking beings in the universe, until we met you, but never did we dream that thought could arise from the lonely animals who cannot dream each other's dreams

Orson Scott Card
Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
Into the the air, into the earth, into the fire, I am with you.
Orson Scott Card
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
The only true vision comes not from God but from the inmost recesses of the human mind.
Orson Scott Card
When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely. But when the other person doesn't yet know that he needs your wisdom you keep it to yourself. Food only looks good to a hungry man.
Orson Scott Card
Thank God for you, Ender. Thank God.
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
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.
