Orson Scott Card
Just because you believe it doesn't make it so.
Orson Scott Card
Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Orson Scott Card
I wonder sometimes if the motivation for writers ought to be contempt, not admiration.
Orson Scott Card
Don’t win loyalty, just obedience, and only while the lash is in the room.
Orson Scott Card
