More quotes by Orson Scott Card
I looked for perfection, and I found something better.
Orson Scott Card
Isn't it possible, he wondered, for one person to love another without trying to own each other? Or is that buried so deep in our genes that we can never get it out? Territoriality.
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
In order to learn, one must change one's mind.
Orson Scott Card
You can't write a novel all at once, any more than you can swallow a whale in one gulp. You do have to break it up into smaller chunks. But those smaller chunks aren't good old familiar short stories. Novels aren't built out of short stories. They are built out of scenes.
Orson Scott Card
He walked down the corridor, lined with his soldiers, who looked at him with love, with awe, with trust. Except Bean, who looked at him with anguish. Ender Wiggin was not larger than life, Bean knew. He was exactly life-sized, and so his larger-than-life burden was too much for him. And yet he was bearing it. So far.
Orson Scott Card
Never mind that the story had turned out to be lies and foolishness—there was always folks stupid enough to say, Where there's smoke there's fire, when the saying should have been, Where there's scandalous lies there's always malicious believers and spreaders-around, regardless of evidence.
Orson Scott Card
As long as you keep getting born, it's alright to die some times.
Orson Scott Card
He kissed her and killed her then dumped her body in the river.
Orson Scott Card
We thought we were the only thinking beings in the universe, until we met you, but never did we dream that thought could arise from the lonely animals who cannot dream each other's dreams
Orson Scott Card
I've learned much, Father, and this above all: that no station in life is above any other, if it's occupied by someone with a good heart.
Orson Scott Card
If only we were wiser or better people, perhaps the gods would explain to us the mad, unbearable things they do.
Orson Scott Card
It just gripes me hollow, the way God always sneaks in to take the credit.
Orson Scott Card
As he thought of it, though, he could not imagine what “just living” might actually be. He had never done it in his life. But he wanted to do it anyway.
Orson Scott Card
It is in the turmoil of chaos that we discover what, if anything, we are.
Orson Scott Card
My hands are clean, but not because I wasn't prepared to bloody them.
Orson Scott Card
It's what I was born for, isn't it? If I don't go, why am I alive?
Orson Scott Card
No book, however good, can survive a hostile reading.
Orson Scott Card
Legalizing gay marriage is not about making it possible for gay people to become couples. It's about giving the Left the power to force anti-religious values on our children. Once they legalize gay marriage, it will be the bludgeon they use to make sure that it becomes illegal to teach traditional values in the schools.
Orson Scott Card
The world was full of locked doors, and he had to get his hand on every key.
