Orson Scott Card
You frighten me, when you say there isn't time. I don't see why. Christians have been expecting the imminent end of the world for millennia. But it keeps not ending. So far, so good.
Orson Scott Card
The only people who ever prize purity of ignorance are those who profit from a monopoly on knowledge.

Orson Scott Card
Please don't disillusion me. I haven't had breakfast yet.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
History is an omlette. THe eggs are already broken.
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
We care about moral issues, nobility, decency, happiness, goodness—the issues that matter in the real world, but which can only be addressed, in their purity, in fiction.
Orson Scott Card
Doesn't it make you wonder about your own sexual identity, not to mention your sanity, that the two women you love are, respectively, a virtual woman existing only in the transient ansible connections between computers and a woman whose soul is in fact that of a man who is the husband of your mother?
Orson Scott Card
Science fiction is about what could be but isn't fantasy is about what couldn't be.
Orson Scott Card
Firequencher raised his hand. I've been staying out of family conversations. Do I get credit for that?
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.
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.
