So let me tell you what I think about gods. I think a real god is not going to be so scared or angry that he tries to keep other people down…A real god doesn’t care about control. A real god already has control of everything that needs controlling. Real gods would want to teach you how to be just like them.
Orson Scott Card
Maybe we're the fools, for thinking we know things. Maybe humans are the only ones who can deal with the fact that nothing can ever be known at all.
Orson Scott Card
The priests say that God created our souls, and that just puts us under the control of another puppeteer. If God created our will, then he's responsible for every choice we make.
Orson Scott Card
Some men are great enough that they can love a whole woman, and not just part of her.
Orson Scott Card
With life. Rooter says that life is how God gives purpose to the universe.
Orson Scott Card
The most evil creatures dont desire the destruction of everythingthey only desire to exploit it for themselves.
Orson Scott Card
We thought we were the only thinking beings in the universe, until we met you, but never did we dream that thought could arise from the lonely animals who cannot dream each other's dreams
Orson Scott Card
But if you caught my informant,' said Achilles, 'why in the world would Chamrajnagar—or Graff, if it was him—launch the shuttle anyway? Was catching me doing something naughty so important they’d risk a shuttle and it’s crew just to catch me? I find that quite… flattering. Sort of like winning the Nobel Prize for scariest villain.
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
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.
