Orson Scott Card
There is more good writing and good acting in any ten minutes of Twister than in, say, all of Citizen Kane.
Orson Scott Card
The lies we live will always be confessed in the stories that we tell.
Orson Scott Card
I will never hurt you. I will always help you. If you are hungry Ill give you my food. If you are frightened I am your friend. I love you now. And love does not end.
Orson Scott Card
I doubt that America will come to Europe again. You'll be on your own against militant Islam.
Orson Scott Card
The only true vision comes not from God but from the inmost recesses of the human mind.
