So let me tell you what I think about gods. I think a real god is not going to be so scared or angry that he tries to keep other people down…A real god doesn’t care about control.

I learned to separate the story from the writing, probably the most important thing that any storyteller has to learn-that there are a thousand right ways to tell a story, and ten million wrong ones, and you're a lot more likely to find one of the latter than the former your first time through the tale.
Orson Scott Card
there were crimes and quarrels, alongside kindness and cooperation there were people who loved each other and people who did not it was a human world.
Orson Scott Card
