Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
The only process you've mastered is the process of elimination, and the only reason you've mastered that is because you can do it in the toilet.
Orson Scott Card
It's what I was born for, isn't it? If I don't go, why am I alive?
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
As long as you keep getting born, it's alright to die some times.
Orson Scott Card
With false names, on the right nets, they could be anybody. Old men, middle-aged women, anybody, as long as they were careful about the way they wrote. All that anyone would see were their words, their ideas. Every citizen started equal, on the nets.
Orson Scott Card
Early to bed and early to rise, Mazer intoned, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes.
