More quotes by Orson Scott Card
Evil people naturally assume that you will use that power exactly as they would use it.
Orson Scott Card
You can't write a novel all at once, any more than you can swallow a whale in one gulp. You do have to break it up into smaller chunks. But those smaller chunks aren't good old familiar short stories. Novels aren't built out of short stories. They are built out of scenes.
Orson Scott Card
Make friends. Be a leader. Kiss butts if you have to, but if the other guys despise you-you know what I mean?
Orson Scott Card
A character is what he does, yes - but even more, a character is what he means to do.
Orson Scott Card
We don't read novels to have an experience like life. Heck, we're living lives, complete with all the incompleteness. We turn to fiction to have an author assure us that it means something.
Orson Scott Card
We thought we were the only thinking beings in the universe, until we met you, but never did we dream that thought could arise from the lonely animals who cannot dream each other's dreams
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.
Orson Scott Card
Quim, she said, don't ever try to teach me about good and evil. I've been there, and you've seen nothing but a map.
Orson Scott Card
I don't care how much you eat, Ender, self-cannibalism won't get you out of this school.
Orson Scott Card
No matter how sexually attracted a man might be toward other men, or a woman toward other women, and no matter how close the bonds of affection and friendship might be within same-sex couples, there is no act of court or Congress that can make these relationships the same as the coupling between a man and a woman.
Orson Scott Card
Thank you for this, Peter. For dry eyes and silent weeping. You taught me how to hide anything i felt. More than ever, i need that now.
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
You killed more people than anybody in history. Be the best at whatever you do, that's what my mother always told me.
Orson Scott Card
People love to hear the brag of the local boy, because they want him to be great, but the foreigner must deny that he has any outstanding virtue - this is what will endear him to the locals.
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
When I write fiction, I create characters whose views are not my own, and I allow them to be eloquent in defense of their, not my, views.
Orson Scott Card
To expect wickedness from human beings is the best way I know of to avoid surprises. And when I am surprised, it's always pleasantly.
Orson Scott Card
Bean could see the hunger in their eyes. Not the regular hunger, for food, but the real hunger, the deep hunger, for family, for love, for belonging.
Orson Scott Card
I always tell what I believe. Whether it's true, I'm no more sure than any man.
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
