Orson Scott Card
Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth.
Orson Scott Card
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.
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.
Orson Scott Card
