Legalizing gay marriage is not about making it possible for gay people to become couples. It's about giving the Left the power to force anti-religious values on our children.

Orson Scott Card
I'm not stupid! In Bean's experience, that was a sentence never uttered except to prove its own inaccuracy.
Orson Scott Card
Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.

Faith doesn't mean you never doubt. It only means you never act upon your doubts.
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
History is an omlette. THe eggs are already broken.
Orson Scott Card
If only we were wiser or better people, perhaps the gods would explain to us the mad, unbearable things they do.

Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.
Orson Scott Card
You were faster than me. Better than me. I was too old and cautious. Any decent person who knos waht warfare is can never go into battle with a whole heart. But you didn't know. We made sure youo didn't know. You were reckless and brilliant and young. It's waht you were born for.
Orson Scott Card
Humans invent an imaginary lover and put that mask over the face of the body in their bed. That is the tragedy of language my friend. Those who know each other only through symbolic representations are forced to imagine each other. And because their imagination is imperfect, they are often wrong.
