Orson Scott Card
How clever of me. I have found such a pathway into hell that I can never get back out.
Orson Scott Card
The lives of all people flow through time, and, regardless of how brutal one moment may be, how filled with grief or pain or fear, time flows through all lives equally.
Orson Scott Card
If a pig goes upon the threshing-floor, or a field, or a garden, and the owner of the meadow, or the field, or the garden smites it so that it die, he shall give it back to its owner but if he does not give it back, he becomes a thief.
Orson Scott Card
The worst thing about the fantasies of the mentally ill is that they're so damned consistent. They never let up. They never give you any rest.

The funny thing was, you see, that Mike Fink didn't think of himself as a murderer. He thought of life as a contest, and dying was what happened to those who came out second best, but it wasn't the same as murder, it was a fair fight.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
I'm right here. This is who I really am. I'm not pretending.
Orson Scott Card
Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.
Orson Scott Card
The dreamers always seem to think their dream is worth the price that other people will pay. They also delude themselves that they will control whatever evil they use to try to bring about their dream.

How short life is for fools.
Orson Scott Card
There is a myth that homosexuals are 'born that way,' and we are pounded with this idea so thoroughly that many people think that somebody, somewhere, must have proved it.
Orson Scott Card
I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one.
Orson Scott Card
I doubt that America will come to Europe again. You'll be on your own against militant Islam.
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
He jumped at the Giants face, clambered up his lip and nose, and began to dig in the Giant's eye.
Orson Scott Card
There's always hope... even when there isn't faith. And sometimes, without hope or faith, there must be charity.
