Orson Scott Card
In order to learn, one must change one's mind.
Orson Scott Card
There is more good writing and good acting in any ten minutes of Twister than in, say, all of Citizen Kane.
Orson Scott Card

Truth, when we are fortunate enough to find it, is like bad-tasting medicine. It rarely comes as a pleasant surprise, because if it surprises us, it means we've been denying it for some time and have a lot of beliefs based on falsehood. It's hard to give up those beliefs.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
As he thought of it, though, he could not imagine what “just living” might actually be. He had never done it in his life. But he wanted to do it anyway.
Orson Scott Card
I taught you everything you know. But I didn't teach you everything I know.
Orson Scott Card
Nobody ever completely means what they say. Even when they think they're telling the truth, there's always something hidden behind their words.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
Please don't disillusion me. I haven't had breakfast yet.
Orson Scott Card
It's as if every conversation with a woman was a test, and men always failed it, because they always lacked the key to the code and so they never quite understood what the conversation was really about.
Orson Scott Card
With life. Rooter says that life is how God gives purpose to the universe.
Orson Scott Card
We were all fated to die, and so it is good that at least we can be sure our deaths today might bring about a good end, might make the world a better place.
Orson Scott Card
This is the Speaker for the Dead? Judging someone by appearances? Maybe I've fallen in love with Grego. You've always been a sucker for people who pee on you.
