More quotes by Orson Scott Card
Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.
Orson Scott Card
His vices were the vices of his time and culture, but his virtues transcended the milieu of his life.
Orson Scott Card
the seed of doubt was there, and it stayed, and every now and then sent out a little root. It changed everything, to have that seed growing. It made Ender listen more carefully to what people meant, instead of what they said. It made him wise.
Orson Scott Card
You know how writers are... they create themselves as they create their work. Or perhaps they create their work in order to create themselves.
Orson Scott Card
The only process you've mastered is the process of elimination, and the only reason you've mastered that is because you can do it in the toilet.
Orson Scott Card
Unfortunately, we live in a time when the media are almost a monoculture.
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
Please don't disillusion me. I haven't had breakfast yet.
Orson Scott Card
Here's the secret that every successful software company is based on: You can domesticate programmers the way beekeepers tame bees. You can't exactly communicate with them, but you can get them to swarm in one place and when they're not looking, you can carry off the honey.
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 wonder sometimes if the motivation for writers ought to be contempt, not admiration.
Orson Scott Card
Maybe we're the fools, for thinking we know things. Maybe humans are the only ones who can deal with the fact that nothing can ever be known at all.
Orson Scott Card
I'm right here. This is who I really am. I'm not pretending.
Orson Scott Card
I always tell what I believe. Whether it's true, I'm no more sure than any man.
Orson Scott Card
For children love is a feeling for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.
Orson Scott Card
Peter, you're twelve years old. I'm ten. They have a word for people our age. They call us children and they treat us like mice.
Orson Scott Card
When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely. But when the other person doesn't yet know that he needs your wisdom you keep it to yourself. Food only looks good to a hungry man.
Orson Scott Card
There is more good writing and good acting in any ten minutes of Twister than in, say, all of Citizen Kane.
Orson Scott Card
I'm neutral on lying, seeing as how there's times when the truth just hurts people.
Orson Scott Card
I have hope for you, if only because you're the only one left to hope for.
Orson Scott Card
