Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
We're all trying to decide whether your scores up there are a miracle or a mistake. A habit.
Orson Scott Card
The only way to retrieve a secret,once known, is to replace it with a lie.
Orson Scott Card
You who speak languages, you are such liars.
Orson Scott Card
Sickness and healing are in every heart death and deliverance in every hand.
Orson Scott Card
Asking a man if he could be trusted was like asking an unwed girl if she was a virgin. The question mattered, but the asking of it was gross insult.
Orson Scott Card
In a way she actually preferred Peter to other people because of this. He always acted out of intelligent self-interest.
Orson Scott Card
Science fiction is about what could be but isn't fantasy is about what couldn't be.
Orson Scott Card
There's always hope... even when there isn't faith. And sometimes, without hope or faith, there must be charity.
Orson Scott Card
You will learn to defeat the enemy.
Orson Scott Card
People love to hear the brag of the local boy, because they want him to be great, but the foreigner must deny that he has any outstanding virtue - this is what will endear him to the locals.
Orson Scott Card
Home is where the people who live there need me to come home to them, and worry about me when I'm gone. There's no such place on this earth, no matter how far I drive.
