Once you duct-tape a Ziploc bag to a man's chest, there's no going back.

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

Writer's block is my unconscio...

Writer's block is my unconscious mind telling me that something I've just written is either unbelievable or unimportant to me, and I solve it by going back and reinventing some part of what I've already written so that when I write it again, it is believable and interesting to me. Then I can go on. Writer's block is never solved by forcing oneself to 'write through it,Ђќ because you haven't solved the problem that caused your unconscious mind to rebel against the story, so it still won't work Ђ' for you

The lives of all people flow t...

The lives of all people flow through time, and, regardless of how brutal one moment may be, how filled with grief or pain or fear, time flows through all lives equally.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

You take a step, then another....

You take a step, then another. That's the journey. But to take a step with your eyes open is not a journey at all, it's a remaking of your own mind.

In a way she actually preferred Peter to other people because of this. He always acted out of intelligent self-interest.

I stole their future from them...

I stole their future from them; I can only being to repay by seeing what I can learn from their past.

If words can be lethal weapons...

If words can be lethal weapons, I must provide them with an arsenal.

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--

Maybe we're the fools, for thi...

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.

He is dangerous, he is beautif...

He is dangerous, he is beautiful, I could drown in his understanding.

What am I now, Alai?' 'Still good.' 'At what?' 'At--anything. There's a million soldiers who'd follow you to the end of the universe.' 'I don't want to go to the end of the universe.' 'So where do you want to go? They'll follow you.' I want to go home, thought Ender, but I don't know where it is.

Good people do not let others ...

Good people do not let others suffer needlessly.

And if you're going to critici...

And if you're going to criticize me for not finishing the whole thing and tying it up in a bow for you, why, do us both a favor and write your own damn book, only have the decency to call it a romance instead of a history, because history's got no bows on it, only frayed ends of ribbons and knots that can't be untied. It ain't a pretty package, but then it's not your birthday that I know of so I'm under no obligation to give you a gift.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

Apparently the Dutch now pride...

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.

There's only one thing that will make them stop hating you. And that's being so good at what you do that they can't ignore you

Ho said, 'I do not grieve beca...

Ho said, 'I do not grieve because my feet have been cut off. I grieve because a precious jewel is dubbed a mere stone, and a man of integrity is called a deceiver. This is why I weep.'

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

Isn't it possible, he wondered...

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.

Orson Scott Card 529 quotes

Ah, I am the judge of dreams, ...

Ah, I am the judge of dreams, and you are the judge of love. Well, I find you guilty of dreaming good dreams, and sentence you to a lifetime of working and suffering for the sake of your dreams. I only hope that someday you won't declare me innocent of the crime of loving you.

I'm a Democrat voting for Bush...

I'm a Democrat voting for Bush, even though on economic issues, from taxes to government regulation, I'm not happy with the Republican positions. But we're at war, and electing a president who is committed to losing it seems to be the most foolish thing we could do. Personal honesty is also important to me, and Kerry is obviously not in the running on that point, given that he can't keep track of the facts in his own autobiography.
