Orson Scott Card
Well, how do I know that they don't know the answer unless I ask?
Orson Scott Card
You can't change what you don't understand.
Orson Scott Card
I listen to music constantly while writing.
Orson Scott Card
Maybe that's all demons ever are. People like us, doing things without even knowing what we're doing.
Orson Scott Card
Isn’t that what it means to be civilized? That you can wait to get what you want?
Orson Scott Card
He kissed her and killed her then dumped her body in the river.
Orson Scott Card
I think you don't grow up until you stop worrying about other people's purposes or lack of them and find the purposes you believe in for yourself.
