I don't believe that there are aliens. I believe there are really different people.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
Never mind that the story had turned out to be lies and foolishness—there was always folks stupid enough to say, Where there's smoke there's fire, when the saying should have been, Where there's scandalous lies there's always malicious believers and spreaders-around, regardless of evidence.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card

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
You're cultural supremacists to the core. You'll perform your Questionable Activities to help out the poor little piggies, but there isn't a chance in the world you'll notice when they have something to teach you.
Orson Scott Card
So let me tell you what I think about gods. I think a real god is not going to be so scared or angry that he tries to keep other people down…A real god doesn’t care about control. A real god already has control of everything that needs controlling. Real gods would want to teach you how to be just like them.
Orson Scott Card
The only people who ever prize purity of ignorance are those who profit from a monopoly on knowledge.
Orson Scott Card
That's what so many people didn't understand about life. The real world is the one within the walls of homes the outside world, of careers and politics and money and fame, that was the fake world, where nothing lasted, and things were real only to the extent they harmed or helped people inside their homes.
Orson Scott Card
The nations that offer to arbitrate are the ones that think they should rule the world.
Orson Scott Card
The world was full of locked doors, and he had to get his hand on every key.
