Orson Scott Card
So you love me, said Petra softly when the kiss ended. I'm a raging mass of hormones thet I'm too young to understand, said Bean. You're a female of a closely related species. According to all the best primatologists, I really have no choice. That's nice, she said.
Orson Scott Card
History is an omlette. THe eggs are already broken.
Orson Scott Card
We don't read novels to have an experience like life. Heck, we're living lives, complete with all the incompleteness. We turn to fiction to have an author assure us that it means something.
Orson Scott Card
So I want to ask you a hypothetical question. My favorite kind. Next to rhetorical ones. I can nap equally well through either kind.
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
My hands are clean, but not because I wasn't prepared to bloody them.
