Orson Scott Card
The world was full of locked doors, and he had to get his hand on every key.
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
I have lived in the only decades I could have lived in, and hope to live through at least a few more.

I have too many secrets. For all these years I've been a speaker for the dead, uncovering secrets and helping people to live in the light of truth. Now I no longer tell anyone half of what I know, because if I told the whole truth there would be fear, hatred, brutality, murder, war.
Orson Scott Card
I listen to music constantly while writing.
Orson Scott Card
When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely. But when the other person doesn't yet know that he needs your wisdom you keep it to yourself. Food only looks good to a hungry man.
Orson Scott Card
I wonder sometimes if the motivation for writers ought to be contempt, not admiration.
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
It's the middle class that feels the luxury of being able to have causes.
Orson Scott Card
The univers is statistically more likely to be ironic than not.
Orson Scott Card
Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down.
Orson Scott Card
From all wise men, O Lord, protect us.
Orson Scott Card
He could see Bonzo's anger growing hot. Hot anger was bad. Ender's anger was cold, and he could use it. Bonzo's was hot, and so it used him.
Orson Scott Card
This is the Speaker for the Dead? Judging someone by appearances? Maybe I've fallen in love with Grego. You've always been a sucker for people who pee on you.
