Come in, Bean. Come in Julian...

Come in, Bean. Come in Julian Delphiki, longed-for child of good and loving parents. Come in, kidnapped child, hostage of fate. Come and talk to the Fates, who are playing such clever little games with your life.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

Home is where the people who ...

Home is where the people who live there need me to come home to them, and worry about me when I'm gone. There's no such place on this earth, no matter how far I drive.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

Isn't it possible, he wondere...

Isn't it possible, he wondered, for one person to love another without trying to own each other? Or is that buried so deep in our genes that we can never get it out? Territoriality. My wife. My friend. My lover. My outrageous and annoying computer personality who's about to be shut off at the behest of a half-crazy girl with OCD on a planet that I never heard of and how will I live without [her] when she's gone?

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 529 quotes

America is an empire that doe...

America is an empire that does not wish to be one ; we are easily discouraged from doing what must be done to maintain the global order that allows democracy and prosperity to flourish.

I've got a pretty good idea what children are, and we're not children. Children can lose sometimes, and nobody cares.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

No matter how sexually attrac...

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.

The Lord took twice the time ...

The Lord took twice the time making thee, Alvin Smith, cause it took that long to put the mischief in.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

It's all just fictions anyway...

It's all just fictions anyway. We do what we do and then we make up reasons for it afterward but they're never the true reasons, the truth is always just out of reach.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

The society whose citizens ar...

The society whose citizens are willing to stand and fight is the one with the best chance of surviving long enough for history to even notice.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

That is the earth, he thought...

That is the earth, he thought. Not a globe thousands of kilometers around, but a forest with a shining lake, a house hidden at the crest of a hill, high in the trees, a grassy slope leading upwards from the water, fish leaping and birds strafing to take the bugs that lived at the border between water and sky. Earth was the constant noise of crickets, and winds, and birds

If you give orders and explai...

If you give orders and explain nothing, you might get obedience, but you'll get no creativity. If you tell them your purpose, then when your original plan is shown to be faulty, they'll find another way to achieve your goal. Explaining to your men doesn't weaken their respect for you, it proves your respect for them.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

I don't hate you, I love you,...

I don't hate you, I love you, you're part of myself, you're my heart and when you go it's my heart torn out and carried away--

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

There's always hope... even w...

There's always hope... even when there isn't faith. And sometimes, without hope or faith, there must be charity.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

It is the downfall of evil, t...

It is the downfall of evil, that it never sees far enough ahead.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

You can't write a novel all a...

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.

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.

You accomplish exactly as much as the people who serve you decide you'll accomplish and nothing more.

Others find humanity by looking in their own hearts. Only lost souls need to search for it outside themselves.

Poke gave him life. Ender gave it meaning.
