More quotes by 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.

If only we were wiser or better people, perhaps the gods would explain to us the mad, unbearable things they do.

Early to bed and early to rise, Mazer intoned, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes.

Reasonable argument is impossible when authority becomes the arbiter.

Ender understood more than she said. Manipulation of gravity was one thing deception by the officers was another but the most important message was this: the adults are the enemy, not the other armies. They do not tell us the truth.

Dona Crista laughed a bit. Oh, Pip, I'd be glad for you to try. But do believe me, my dear friend, touching her heart is like bathing in ice. I imagine. I imagine it feels like bathing in ice to the person touching her. But how does it feel to her? Cold as she is, it must surely burn like fire.

Sometimes good people have to do terrible things.
Orson Scott Card
All the common people want is to be left alone. All the ordinary soldier wants is to collect his pay and not get killed. That's why the great forces of history can be manipulated by astonishingly small groups of determined people.
Orson Scott Card
Isn’t that what it means to be civilized? That you can wait to get what you want?
Orson Scott Card
We don't admit it to ourselves, not until the very moment of death, but in that moment, we see all life before us and we understand how we chose, every day of our lives, the manner of our death.
Orson Scott Card
History is an omlette. THe eggs are already broken.
Orson Scott Card
I learned to separate the story from the writing, probably the most important thing that any storyteller has to learn-that there are a thousand right ways to tell a story, and ten million wrong ones, and you're a lot more likely to find one of the latter than the former your first time through the tale.
Orson Scott Card
Just because you believe it doesn't make it so.

A broken clock is right two times a day.

Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life, Ender.
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
The most important training, though, is to experience life as a writer, questioning everything, inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that, all the other things will come if you don't, there's no hope for you.
Orson Scott Card
I want to be the kind of boy you are, thought Bean. But I don’t want to go through what you’ve been through to get there.
