Orson Scott Card quotes

“As long as you keep getting born, it's all right to die sometimes.”

“For children love is a feeling; for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts; adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.”

“If you try and lose then it isn't your fault. But if you don't try and we lose, then it's all your fault.”

“Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.”

“No human being, when you understand his desires, is worthless. No one's life is nothing. Even the most evil of men and women, if you understand their hearts, had some generous act that redeems them, at least a little, from their sins.”

“Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.”

“Since when do you have to tell the enemy when he has won?”

“The wise are not wise because they make no mistakes. They are wise because they correct their mistakes as soon as they recognize them.”
