More quotes by Orson Scott Card
Isn’t that what it means to be civilized? That you can wait to get what you want?
Orson Scott Card
With false names, on the right nets, they could be anybody. Old men, middle-aged women, anybody, as long as they were careful about the way they wrote. All that anyone would see were their words, their ideas. Every citizen started equal, on the nets.
Orson Scott Card
Into the the air, into the earth, into the fire, I am with you.
Orson Scott Card
I have too many secrets. For all these years I've been a speaker for the dead, uncovering secrets and helping people to live in the light of truth. Now I no longer tell anyone half of what I know, because if I told the whole truth there would be fear, hatred, brutality, murder, war.
Orson Scott Card
The essence of training is to allow error without consequence.
Orson Scott Card
The lives of all people flow through time, and, regardless of how brutal one moment may be, how filled with grief or pain or fear, time flows through all lives equally.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
The fear of death in the one place was not as strong as another kind of fear, the fear of a world gone crazy, a place where anything could happen, where nothing could be trusted, where nothing was certain. A terrible place.
Orson Scott Card
It's simple. Nothing exists except in relation to something else.
Orson Scott Card
To have a choice at all is to be free - even when the choice is between two terrible things.
Orson Scott Card
In order to learn, one must change one's mind.
Orson Scott Card
He kissed her and killed her then dumped her body in the river.
Orson Scott Card
If you give orders and explain nothing, you might get obedience, but you'll get no creativity. If you tell them your purpose, then when your original plan is shown to be faulty, they'll find another way to achieve your goal. Explaining to your men doesn't weaken their respect for you, it proves your respect for them.
Orson Scott Card
I don't care if I pass your test, I don't care if I follow your rules. If you can cheat, so can I. I won't let you beat me unfairly - I'll beat you unfairly first. - Ender
Orson Scott Card
I always tell the truth about what I’m selling, and then nobody buys it.
Orson Scott Card
The Lord took twice the time making thee, Alvin Smith, cause it took that long to put the mischief in.
Orson Scott Card
I doubt that America will come to Europe again. You'll be on your own against militant Islam.
Orson Scott Card
The funny thing was, you see, that Mike Fink didn't think of himself as a murderer. He thought of life as a contest, and dying was what happened to those who came out second best, but it wasn't the same as murder, it was a fair fight.
