Orson Scott Card
We're all trying to decide whether your scores up there are a miracle or a mistake. A habit.
Orson Scott Card
My own feeling is that human happiness is a very random thing, and bestows itself willy-nilly, and there's not much deserving about the matter.
Orson Scott Card
If you give orders and explain nothing, you might get obedience, but you'll get no creativity. If you tell them your purpose, then when your original plan is shown to be faulty, they'll find another way to achieve your goal. Explaining to your men doesn't weaken their respect for you, it proves your respect for them.
Orson Scott Card
I'm not a liar, sir,' she said. 'No, I'm sure you sincerely become whatever it is you're pretending to be.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
Science fiction is about what could be but isn't fantasy is about what couldn't be.
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
