Here's the secret that every successful software company is based on: You can domesticate programmers the way beekeepers tame bees. You can't exactly communicate with them, but you can get them to swarm in one place and when they're not looking, you can carry off the honey.
Orson Scott Card
Into the the air, into the earth, into the fire, I am with you.
Orson Scott Card
I've seen Australia and I've lived on an asteroid and I'd take the asteroid.

The danger that keeps me just a little frightened with every book I write, however, is that I'll overreach myself once too often and try to write a story that I'm just plain not talented or skilful enough to write. That's the dilemma every storyteller faces. It is painful to fail. But it is far sadder when a storyteller stops wanting to try.
Orson Scott Card
I didn't want to see you. They told me. I was afraid that I'd still love you. I hoped that you would.

I listen to music constantly while writing.
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
He jumped at the Giants face, clambered up his lip and nose, and began to dig in the Giant's eye.

I'm crazy, said Ender. But I think I'm OK.

It's easy to manipulate your children when they're absolutely sure you're stupid.
Orson Scott Card
It wasn't so bad being a slave when your owner was yourself and stood up for you.
Orson Scott Card
He loved her, as you can only love someone who is an echo of yourself at your time of deepest sorrow.
Orson Scott Card
Asking a man if he could be trusted was like asking an unwed girl if she was a virgin. The question mattered, but the asking of it was gross insult.
Orson Scott Card
Doesn't it make you wonder about your own sexual identity, not to mention your sanity, that the two women you love are, respectively, a virtual woman existing only in the transient ansible connections between computers and a woman whose soul is in fact that of a man who is the husband of your mother?
