More quotes by Orson Scott Card
Human beings are free except when humanity needs them.
Orson Scott Card
Maybe that's all demons ever are. People like us, doing things without even knowing what we're doing.
Orson Scott Card
I don't believe that there are aliens. I believe there are really different people.
Orson Scott Card
Science isn't done by consensus. It's done by rigorous testing.
Orson Scott Card
Just because the only way you can maintain control over your bodily passions is to sit straight in your chair, knees together, hands delicately arranged in our lap, fingers tightly intertwined, does not mean that I am required to do the same.
Orson Scott Card
How short life is for fools.
Orson Scott Card
Ho said, 'I do not grieve because my feet have been cut off. I grieve because a precious jewel is dubbed a mere stone, and a man of integrity is called a deceiver. This is why I weep.'
Orson Scott Card
So I want to ask you a hypothetical question. My favorite kind. Next to rhetorical ones. I can nap equally well through either kind.
Orson Scott Card

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
Perhaps every writer who thoroughly creates a fictional world will inevitably create a mirror of his own time and yet also create a world that no one else but him has ever visited.
Orson Scott Card
In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.
Orson Scott Card
Make friends. Be a leader. Kiss butts if you have to, but if the other guys despise you-you know what I mean?
Orson Scott Card
Bean could see the hunger in their eyes. Not the regular hunger, for food, but the real hunger, the deep hunger, for family, for love, for belonging.
Orson Scott Card
Into the the air, into the earth, into the fire, I am with you.
Orson Scott Card
It's simple. Nothing exists except in relation to something else.
Orson Scott Card
You take a step, then another. That's the journey. But to take a step with your eyes open is not a journey at all, it's a remaking of your own mind.
Orson Scott Card
When I am drunk I am at my best. It is the national knack of the French.
Orson Scott Card
I don't care if I pass your test, I don't care if I follow your rules. If you can cheat, so can I. I won't let you beat me unfairly - I'll beat you unfairly first. - Ender
Orson Scott Card
I doubt that America will come to Europe again. You'll be on your own against militant Islam.
