Orson Scott Card
There's always hope... even when there isn't faith. And sometimes, without hope or faith, there must be charity.
Orson Scott Card
Parents always make their worst mistakes with their oldest children. That's when parents know the least and care the most, so they're more likely to be wrong and also more likely to insist that they're right.

To expect wickedness from human beings is the best way I know of to avoid surprises. And when I am surprised, it's always pleasantly.
Orson Scott Card
I want to be the kind of boy you are, thought Bean. But I don’t want to go through what you’ve been through to get there.
