As long as you keep getting born, it's alright to die some times.
Orson Scott Card
Unemployment is capitalism's way of getting you to plant a garden.
Orson Scott Card
Only stupid men trying to seem smart need to be with dumb women. Only weak men trying to look strong are attracted to compliant women.

Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down.
Orson Scott Card
But whether there's some grand design really matters little to me. My only hope was this: to see what might be, to believe that it should be, and then to do all I could to bring it to pass, whatever the cost.

Orson Scott Card
Thank you for this, Peter. For dry eyes and silent weeping. You taught me how to hide anything i felt. More than ever, i need that now.
Orson Scott Card
We don't admit it to ourselves, not until the very moment of death, but in that moment, we see all life before us and we understand how we chose, every day of our lives, the manner of our death.
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
I'm neutral on lying, seeing as how there's times when the truth just hurts people.
Orson Scott Card
Sickness and healing are in every heart death and deliverance in every hand.
Orson Scott Card
Twisted and perverse are the ways of the human mind, Jane intoned. Pinocchio was such a dolt to try to become a real boy. He was much better off with a wooden head.
Orson Scott Card
No matter how sexually attracted a man might be toward other men, or a woman toward other women, and no matter how close the bonds of affection and friendship might be within same-sex couples, there is no act of court or Congress that can make these relationships the same as the coupling between a man and a woman.
Orson Scott Card
Science isn't done by consensus. It's done by rigorous testing.
Orson Scott Card
It's easy to manipulate your children when they're absolutely sure you're stupid.
