Orson Scott Card
For children love is a feeling for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.
Orson Scott Card
From all wise men, O Lord, protect us.
Orson Scott Card
If only we were wiser or better people, perhaps the gods would explain to us the mad, unbearable things they do.
Orson Scott Card
I need you to be clever, Bean. I need you to think of solutions to problems we haven't seen yet. I want you to try things that no one has ever tried because they're absolutely stupid.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
