The only people who think children are carefree are the ones who've forgotten their own childhood.
Orson Scott Card
Don’t win loyalty, just obedience, and only while the lash is in the room.
Orson Scott Card
The dreamers always seem to think their dream is worth the price that other people will pay. They also delude themselves that they will control whatever evil they use to try to bring about their dream.

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.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
But whether there's some grand design really matters little to me. My only hope was this: to see what might be, to believe that it should be, and then to do all I could to bring it to pass, whatever the cost.
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
Poke gave him life. Ender gave it meaning.
Orson Scott Card
The lies we live will always be confessed in the stories that we tell.
Orson Scott Card
The only people who ever prize purity of ignorance are those who profit from a monopoly on knowledge.
