Orson Scott Card
I looked for perfection, and I found something better.
Orson Scott Card
Nobody ever completely means what they say. Even when they think they're telling the truth, there's always something hidden behind their words.
Orson Scott Card
I always tell the truth about what I’m selling, and then nobody buys it.
Orson Scott Card
Every day people judge all other people. The question is whether they judge wisely.
Orson Scott Card
If you lay a hand on me I'll ram your testicles so far up inside your abdomen it'll take a heart surgeon to get them out.
Orson Scott Card
My hands are clean, but not because I wasn't prepared to bloody them.
Orson Scott Card
You frighten me, when you say there isn't time. I don't see why. Christians have been expecting the imminent end of the world for millennia. But it keeps not ending. So far, so good.
