More quotes by Orson Scott Card
the seed of doubt was there, and it stayed, and every now and then sent out a little root. It changed everything, to have that seed growing. It made Ender listen more carefully to what people meant, instead of what they said. It made him wise.
Orson Scott Card
Your ego-depletion seems problematically difficult to assuage.
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
To expect wickedness from human beings is the best way I know of to avoid surprises. And when I am surprised, it's always pleasantly.
Orson Scott Card
I want to be the kind of boy you are, thought Bean. But I don’t want to go through what you’ve been through to get there.

Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
Good people do not let others suffer needlessly.
Orson Scott Card

My favourite all-time work of fiction: Lord of the Rings. My favourite all-time nonfiction book: Guns, Germs, and Steel. Ask me again next week, you'll get a different answer.

Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life, Ender.
Orson Scott Card
Where loyalty bound creatures together, they became something larger, something new and whole and inexplicable.
Orson Scott Card
A weak King must be what other Kings have been a strong King is himself, and from then on the meaning of the name of King is changed.
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
And what? What's the other choice? To passively let things happen and then say: Tut-tut, what at botch that was? Don't we all manipulate people? Even if we openly ask them to make a choice, don't we try to frame it so they'll chose as we think they should?
Orson Scott Card
In my view, suicide is not really a wish for life to end.' What is it then?' It is the only way a powerless person can find to make everybody else look away from his shame. The wish is not to die, but to hide.
Orson Scott Card
