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
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
I'm not stupid! In Bean's experience, that was a sentence never uttered except to prove its own inaccuracy.
Orson Scott Card
Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf.
Orson Scott Card
