It's the problem with age. You have all these rusty arguments, and no quarrel to use them in. My brain is a museum, but alas, I'm the only visitor, and even I am not terribly interested in the displays.
Orson Scott Card
Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.

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.'

He was exactly life-sized, and so his larger-than-life burden was too much for him. And yet he was bearing it. So far.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
He loved her, as you can only love someone who is an echo of yourself at your time of deepest sorrow.
Orson Scott Card
Your ego-depletion seems problematically difficult to assuage.
Orson Scott Card
A good working definition of fanaticism is that you are so convinced of your views and policies that you are sure that anyone who opposed them must be either stupid and decieved or have some ulterior motive. We are today a nation where almost everyone in the public eye displays fanaticism with every utterance.
Orson Scott Card
Religion is tied to the deepest feelings people have. The love that arises from that stewing pot is the sweetest and strongest, but the hate is the hottest, and the anger is the most violent.
Orson Scott Card
Unemployment is capitalism's way of getting you to plant a garden.
Orson Scott Card
What else should you be? Human beings didn't evolve brains in order to lie around on lakes. Killing's the first thing we learned. And a good thing we did, or we'd be dead, and the tigers would own the earth.
Orson Scott Card
I'm right here. This is who I really am. I'm not pretending.
Orson Scott Card
The lies we live will always be confessed in the stories that we tell.
