Your work is first, learning is first, winning is everything because without it there is nothing.
Orson Scott Card
Remember, the enemy's gate is down.
Orson Scott Card
Whenever the law gets its hands on you, those who use the law to their own advantage will also turn it against you. Don't put your trust in the laws of men, Alvin. They were designed by strong men to improve their power over weaker ones.
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
We've devoted our lives to learning about them! Miro said. Ender stopped. Not from them.
Orson Scott Card
Maybe we're the fools, for thinking we know things. Maybe humans are the only ones who can deal with the fact that nothing can ever be known at all.
Orson Scott Card
My favourite all-time work of fiction: Lord of the Rings. My favourite all-time nonfiction book: Guns, Germs, and Steel. Ask me again next week, you'll get a different answer.
Orson Scott Card
Humans invent an imaginary lover and put that mask over the face of the body in their bed. That is the tragedy of language my friend. Those who know each other only through symbolic representations are forced to imagine each other. And because their imagination is imperfect, they are often wrong.
Orson Scott Card
Short stories are designed to deliver their impact in as few pages as possible. A tremendous amount is left out, and a good short story writer learns to include only the most essential information.
Orson Scott Card
Where loyalty bound creatures together, they became something larger, something new and whole and inexplicable.
Orson Scott Card
I looked for perfection, and I found something better.
Orson Scott Card
One judge is coughing his life out into bloody handkerchiefs and the other is burying his wife, and you think this is how God answers your prayers?
Orson Scott Card
I'm right here. This is who I really am. I'm not pretending.
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
Poke gave him life. Ender gave it meaning.
Orson Scott Card
You can’t answer what I said, so you’re going to talk about my saying it.
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
I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it
Orson Scott Card
What am I now, Alai? Still good. At what? At--anything. There's a million soldiers who'd follow you to the end of the universe. I don't want to go to the end of the universe. So where do you want to go? They'll follow you. I want to go home, thought Ender, but I don't know where it is.
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. You have to act as if something is true, and so you choose the thing you have the most reason to believe in, you have to live in the world that you have the most hope in.
