More quotes by Orson Scott Card
Where ideas are real and reality is shadow.
Orson Scott Card
No human being, when you understand his desires, is worthless. No one's life is nothing. Even the most evil of men and women, if you understand their hearts, had some generous act that redeems them, at least a little, from their sins.
Orson Scott Card
Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.
Orson Scott Card
A broken clock is right two times a day.
Orson Scott Card
Science Fiction has rivets, fantasy has trees.
Orson Scott Card
Once you get a brother, you don’t give him up easy.
Orson Scott Card
Once you have the gallows, you'll find new reasons to hang people from it.
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
Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth.
Orson Scott Card
You who speak languages, you are such liars.
Orson Scott Card
Faith doesn't mean you never doubt. It only means you never act upon your doubts.
Orson Scott Card
When you really know someone, you can't hate him.
Orson Scott Card
Asking a man if he could be trusted was like asking an unwed girl if she was a virgin. The question mattered, but the asking of it was gross insult.
Orson Scott Card
Truth, when we are fortunate enough to find it, is like bad-tasting medicine. It rarely comes as a pleasant surprise, because if it surprises us, it means we've been denying it for some time and have a lot of beliefs based on falsehood. It's hard to give up those beliefs.
Orson Scott Card
You take a step, then another. That's the journey. But to take a step with your eyes open is not a journey at all, it's a remaking of your own mind.
Orson Scott Card
Maybe we're the fools, for thinking we know things. Maybe humans are the only ones who can deal with the fact that nothing can ever be known at all.
Orson Scott Card
My own feeling is that human happiness is a very random thing, and bestows itself willy-nilly, and there's not much deserving about the matter.
Orson Scott Card
Sickness and healing are in every heart death and deliverance in every hand.
Orson Scott Card
Parents always make their worst mistakes with their oldest children. That's when parents know the least and care the most, so they're more likely to be wrong and also more likely to insist that they're right.
Orson Scott Card
What else should you be? Human beings didn't evolve brains in order to lie around on lakes. Killing's the first thing we learned. And a good thing we did, or we'd be dead, and the tigers would own the earth.
