Orson Scott Card
Remember, the enemy's gate is down.
Orson Scott Card
Nobodys life ever goes according to plan. So why do we keep on planning? Because that's how we know who we are. By what we intend to be. By what we try to become. And fail. I don't say 'fail'. I saw we aim and miss. But we still hit something.
Orson Scott Card
War was never so careful as to inflict suffering only where it was merited.

Orson Scott Card
Home is where the people who live there need me to come home to them, and worry about me when I'm gone. There's no such place on this earth, no matter how far I drive.
Orson Scott Card
. . . All these readers have placed themselves inside this story, not as spectators, but as participants, and so have looked at the world, not with my eyes only, but also with their own.
Orson Scott Card
Good people can't out-think evil, cause evil thinks of things good folks can't think of.
Orson Scott Card
Isn’t that what it means to be civilized? That you can wait to get what you want?
Orson Scott Card
I have hope for you, if only because you're the only one left to hope for.
Orson Scott Card
He could see Bonzo's anger growing hot. Hot anger was bad. Ender's anger was cold, and he could use it. Bonzo's was hot, and so it used him.
Orson Scott Card
I have too many secrets. For all these years I've been a speaker for the dead, uncovering secrets and helping people to live in the light of truth. Now I no longer tell anyone half of what I know, because if I told the whole truth there would be fear, hatred, brutality, murder, war.
