More quotes by 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
Of course, I also hear from critics who detest what I do, and while sometimes I feel rather proud of having made various the loathsome people or groups angry, at other times I wonder why I put up with such grief.
Orson Scott Card
I am a creature of chemicals.
Orson Scott Card
Rumors are the sauce of a dry life.
Orson Scott Card
The opposite of the happy ending is not actually the sad ending-the sad ending is sometimes the happy ending. The opposite of the happy ending is actually the unsatisfying ending.
Orson Scott Card
Nobody ever completely means what they say. Even when they think they're telling the truth, there's always something hidden behind their words.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
If a pig goes upon the threshing-floor, or a field, or a garden, and the owner of the meadow, or the field, or the garden smites it so that it die, he shall give it back to its owner but if he does not give it back, he becomes a thief.
Orson Scott Card
I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one.
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
Science Fiction has rivets, fantasy has trees.
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
If you try and lose then it isn't your fault. But if you don't try and we lose, then it's all your fault.
Orson Scott Card
If anyone have intercourse with a pig or a dog, he shall die. If a man have intercourse with a horse or a mule, there is no punishment. But he shall not approach the king, and shall not become a priest... If a pig spring upon a man for intercourse, there is no punishment.
Orson Scott Card
Maybe that's all demons ever are. People like us, doing things without even knowing what we're doing.
Orson Scott Card
When you have a good romance, find ways to make their lives miserable and hellish...Do you think 'Titanic' would have been so popular if they had both lived? Not a prayer.
Orson Scott Card
Asking a man if he could be trusted was like asking an unwed girl if she was a virgin. The question mattered, but the asking of it was gross insult.
Orson Scott Card
It is in the turmoil of chaos that we discover what, if anything, we are.
Orson Scott Card
My own feeling is that human happiness is a very random thing, and bestows itself willy-nilly, and there's not much deserving about the matter.
Orson Scott Card
Grief,she reminded herself, is almost always for the mourner's loss.
