Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.
Orson Scott Card
Your ego-depletion seems problematically difficult to assuage.

Legalizing gay marriage is not about making it possible for gay people to become couples. It's about giving the Left the power to force anti-religious values on our children. Once they legalize gay marriage, it will be the bludgeon they use to make sure that it becomes illegal to teach traditional values in the schools.
Orson Scott Card
Parents always make their worst mistakes with their oldest children. That's when parents know the least and care the most, so they're more likely to be wrong and also more likely to insist that they're right.

Orson Scott Card
Oh, Val, said Father. All you have to do is live your life, and everyone around you will be happier. No greatness, then. Val, said Mother, goodness trumps greatness any day. Not in the history books, said Valentine. Then the wrong people are writing history, aren't they? said Father.

Orson Scott Card
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
When I write fiction, I create characters whose views are not my own, and I allow them to be eloquent in defense of their, not my, views.
Orson Scott Card
You can’t answer what I said, so you’re going to talk about my saying it.
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?
Orson Scott Card
Good people do not let others suffer needlessly.
Orson Scott Card
There is no society that does not highly value fictional storytelling. Ever.
Orson Scott Card
Make friends. Be a leader. Kiss butts if you have to, but if the other guys despise you-you know what I mean?
Orson Scott Card
[T]he politically correct are above the rules of ordinary civility, once they have identified you as an unbeliever in their religion.
Orson Scott Card
I doubt that America will come to Europe again. You'll be on your own against militant Islam.
