In philosophy class I think we finally decided that 'good' is an infinitely recursive term - it can't be defined except in terms of itself. Good is good because it's better than bad, though why it's better to be good than bad depends on how you define good, and on and on.
Orson Scott Card
So I want to ask you a hypothetical question. My favorite kind. Next to rhetorical ones. I can nap equally well through either kind.
Orson Scott Card
He is dead, she thought bitterly, because we have forgotten him.
Orson Scott Card
A weak King must be what other Kings have been a strong King is himself, and from then on the meaning of the name of King is changed.
