The nations that offer to arbitrate are the ones that think they should rule the world.
Orson Scott Card
When both parties are lying and they both know the other party's lying, it comes powerful close to being the same thing as telling the truth.
Orson Scott Card
The ways of love are strange and hard: The love you want is always barred The love you have you want to change. The ways of love are hard and strange.
Orson Scott Card
When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely. But when the other person doesn't yet know that he needs your wisdom you keep it to yourself. Food only looks good to a hungry man.
Orson Scott Card
She worked her toes into the sand, feeling the tiny delicious pain of the friction of tiny chips of silicon against the tender flesh between her toes. That's life. It hurts, it's dirty, and it feels very, very good.
Orson Scott Card
Apparently the Dutch now prided themselves on being better at queues than the English, which was absurd, because standing cheerfully in line was the English national sport.
Orson Scott Card
What else should you be? Human beings didn't evolve brains in order to lie around on lakes. Killing's the first thing we learned. And a good thing we did, or we'd be dead, and the tigers would own the earth.
Orson Scott Card
Remember, the enemy's gate is down.
Orson Scott Card
If I wanted to doubt, then I could doubt endlessly, but at some point a person has to stop questioning and act, and at that point you have to trust something to be true. You have to act as if something is true, and so you choose the thing you have the most reason to believe in, you have to live in the world that you have the most hope in.
Orson Scott Card
I will never hurt you. I will always help you. If you are hungry Ill give you my food. If you are frightened I am your friend. I love you now. And love does not end.
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
It is in the turmoil of chaos that we discover what, if anything, we are.
Orson Scott Card
The only people who ever prize purity of ignorance are those who profit from a monopoly on knowledge.
Orson Scott Card
For it is in the millions of small melodies that the truth of history is always found, for history only matters because of the effects we see or imagine in the lives of the ordinary people who are caught up in, or give shape to, the great events.
Orson Scott Card
Sickness and healing are in every heart death and deliverance in every hand.
Orson Scott Card
The lies we live will always be confessed in the stories that we tell.
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
A broken clock is right two times a day.
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.
Orson Scott Card
Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf.
