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
If anyone have intercourse with a pig or a dog, he shall die. If a man have intercourse with a horse or a mule, there is no punishment. But he shall not approach the king, and shall not become a priest... If a pig spring upon a man for intercourse, there is no punishment.
Orson Scott Card
Unfortunately, we live in a time when the media are almost a monoculture.
Orson Scott Card
How clever of me. I have found such a pathway into hell that I can never get back out.
Orson Scott Card
I learned to separate the story from the writing, probably the most important thing that any storyteller has to learn-that there are a thousand right ways to tell a story, and ten million wrong ones, and you're a lot more likely to find one of the latter than the former your first time through the tale.
Orson Scott Card
The only true vision comes not from God but from the inmost recesses of the human mind.
Orson Scott Card
Your ego-depletion seems problematically difficult to assuage.
