Orson Scott Card
Whenever the law gets its hands on you, those who use the law to their own advantage will also turn it against you. Don't put your trust in the laws of men, Alvin. They were designed by strong men to improve their power over weaker ones.
Orson Scott Card
Here's the secret that every successful software company is based on: You can domesticate programmers the way beekeepers tame bees. You can't exactly communicate with them, but you can get them to swarm in one place and when they're not looking, you can carry off the honey.

Orson Scott Card
Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down.
Orson Scott Card
The univers is statistically more likely to be ironic than not.
Orson Scott Card
In philosophy class I think we finally decided that 'good' is an infinitely recursive term - it can't be defined except in terms of itself. Good is good because it's better than bad, though why it's better to be good than bad depends on how you define good, and on and on.
Orson Scott Card
When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely. But when the other person doesn't yet know that he needs your wisdom you keep it to yourself. Food only looks good to a hungry man.
Orson Scott Card
Science Fiction has rivets, fantasy has trees.
Orson Scott Card
I don't care how much you eat, Ender, self-cannibalism won't get you out of this school.
Orson Scott Card
From all wise men, O Lord, protect us.
Orson Scott Card
Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.
Orson Scott Card
In a way she actually preferred Peter to other people because of this. He always acted out of intelligent self-interest.
Orson Scott Card
It's as if every conversation with a woman was a test, and men always failed it, because they always lacked the key to the code and so they never quite understood what the conversation was really about.
