More quotes by Orson Scott Card
What am I now, Alai? Still good. At what? At--anything. There's a million soldiers who'd follow you to the end of the universe. I don't want to go to the end of the universe. So where do you want to go? They'll follow you. I want to go home, thought Ender, but I don't know where it is.

Orson Scott Card
Make friends. Be a leader. Kiss butts if you have to, but if the other guys despise you-you know what I mean?
Orson Scott Card
No matter how sexually attracted a man might be toward other men, or a woman toward other women, and no matter how close the bonds of affection and friendship might be within same-sex couples, there is no act of court or Congress that can make these relationships the same as the coupling between a man and a woman.
Orson Scott Card
When I am drunk I am at my best. It is the national knack of the French.
Orson Scott Card
Everybody dies. What matters is what you do between now and when it happens to you.
Orson Scott Card
The only true vision comes not from God but from the inmost recesses of the human mind.
Orson Scott Card
Nobodys life ever goes according to plan. So why do we keep on planning? Because that's how we know who we are. By what we intend to be. By what we try to become. And fail. I don't say 'fail'. I saw we aim and miss. But we still hit something.
Orson Scott Card
You killed more people than anybody in history. Be the best at whatever you do, that's what my mother always told me.
Orson Scott Card
Once you get a brother, you don’t give him up easy.
Orson Scott Card
The only way to retrieve a secret,once known, is to replace it with a lie.
Orson Scott Card
The only people who ever prize purity of ignorance are those who profit from a monopoly on knowledge.
