More quotes by Orson Scott Card
His vices were the vices of his time and culture, but his virtues transcended the milieu of his life.
Orson Scott Card
She worked her toes into the sand, feeling the tiny delicious pain of the friction of tiny chips of silicon against the tender flesh between her toes. That's life. It hurts, it's dirty, and it feels very, very good.
Orson Scott Card
Religion is tied to the deepest feelings people have. The love that arises from that stewing pot is the sweetest and strongest, but the hate is the hottest, and the anger is the most violent.
Orson Scott Card
Where ideas are real and reality is shadow.
Orson Scott Card
In my view, suicide is not really a wish for life to end.' What is it then?' It is the only way a powerless person can find to make everybody else look away from his shame. The wish is not to die, but to hide.
Orson Scott Card
The funny thing was, you see, that Mike Fink didn't think of himself as a murderer. He thought of life as a contest, and dying was what happened to those who came out second best, but it wasn't the same as murder, it was a fair fight.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
You who speak languages, you are such liars.
Orson Scott Card
Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth.
Orson Scott Card
A rustic setting always suggests fantasy to suggest science fiction, you need sheet metal and plastic. You need rivets.
Orson Scott Card
I taught you everything you know. But I didn't teach you everything I know.
Orson Scott Card
Peter, you're twelve years old. I'm ten. They have a word for people our age. They call us children and they treat us like mice.
Orson Scott Card
Sometimes you have to trust people enough to let them succeed and love them enough to let them fail.
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
A good working definition of fanaticism is that you are so convinced of your views and policies that you are sure that anyone who opposed them must be either stupid and decieved or have some ulterior motive. We are today a nation where almost everyone in the public eye displays fanaticism with every utterance.
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
Personal humiliation was painful. Humiliation of one's family was much worse. Humiliation of one's social status was agony to bear. But humiliation of one's nation was the most excruciating of human miseries.
Orson Scott Card
I've seen Australia and I've lived on an asteroid and I'd take the asteroid.
