Orson Scott Card
The lies we live will always be confessed in the stories that we tell.
Orson Scott Card
You understand that the piggies are animals, and you no more condemn them for murdering Libo and Pipo than you condemn a cabra for shewing up capim. That's right, said Miro. Ender smiled. And that's why you'll never learn anything from them. Because you think of them as animals.

Orson Scott Card
We need a Napoleon. An Alexander. Except that Napoleon lost in the end, and Alexander flamed out and died young. We need a Julius Caesar, except that he made himself a dictator, and died for it.
Orson Scott Card
As long as you keep getting born, it's alright to die some times.
Orson Scott Card
It is in the turmoil of chaos that we discover what, if anything, we are.
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.
Orson Scott Card
It's the middle class that feels the luxury of being able to have causes.
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
For children love is a feeling for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.
Orson Scott Card
A character is what he does, yes - but even more, a character is what he means to do.
Orson Scott Card
Remember, the enemy's gate is down.
Orson Scott Card
You will learn to defeat the enemy.
