Orson Scott Card
One mind can think only of its own questions it rarely surprises itself.
Orson Scott Card
If only we were wiser or better people, perhaps the gods would explain to us the mad, unbearable things they do.
Orson Scott Card
The only process you've mastered is the process of elimination, and the only reason you've mastered that is because you can do it in the toilet.
Orson Scott Card
The dreamers always seem to think their dream is worth the price that other people will pay. They also delude themselves that they will control whatever evil they use to try to bring about their dream.
