Here are some serious, thoughtful, interesting, amusing, inspiring, bizarre quotes by Orson Scott Card.

I think most of us read stories we know aren't true anyway because we're hungry for another kind of truth, mythic truths about human nature in general, special truths about the life-communities that define our own identities and most special of all, our own self-story. Fiction because it's not about someone who lived in the real world is always likely to be about ourselves.

The moment I really understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, is the moment I love him. I think it's impossible to really understand someone, what they want, what they believe and not love them the way they love themselves. And then at the same moment that I love them, I destroy them.

If you try and fail it's not your fault. But if you don't try and we fail it's all your fault.

Humans are like that. We question all our beliefs except the ones we really believe in and we never think of questioning them.

Human beings are like that. We question all our beliefs except the ones we really believe in and never think of questioning.

I don't care if I pass your test or not. I don't care if I follow your rules or not. If you can cheat, I can too. I won't let you beat me for nothing, I'll beat you for nothing first.

No human being is worthless when you understand his desires. No one's life is worth nothing. Even the worst men and women if you understand their hearts have some generous deeds that redeem them at least a little bit from their sins.

It's called civilization. Women invented it and every time you men destroy it completely we invent it again.

Because never in my entire childhood did I feel like a child. I always felt like a person, the same person I am today.

Sometimes the lie was more convincing than the truth.

When you really know someone you can't hate them. Or maybe it's just that you can't really know them until you stop hating them.

I've lived with pain for too long. I wouldn't know who I am without it.

Humanity doesn't ask us to be happy. It only asks us to be our best selves.

There are times when the world is rearranging itself and at such times the right words can change the world.

Early to bed and early to rise, the Major said, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes.

Ender Wiggin is not a killer. He just wins, completely.

So the whole war is because we can't talk to each other.

Among my most prized possessions are words I never spoke.

I also remember that you were beautiful.

Memory plays tricks on us.

No. Your face is the same, but I can't remember what beautiful means anymore.

You're a monster.

Thank you. Does that mean I'll get a raise?

No, just a medal. The budget never ends.

Life is full of suffering, exactly to the extent that we allow ourselves to be loved by others.

In my view, suicide is not really a wish for life to end.

Then what is it?

It is the only way a powerless person can find to spare others his shame. The wish is not to die, but to hide.

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

Bean, I need you to be smart. I need you to think of solutions to problems we haven't seen yet. I want you to try things that no one has ever tried because they are absolutely stupid.

Humans are free except when humanity needs them. Maybe humanity needs you. To do something. Maybe humanity needs me, to find out what you're good for. We may both do disgusting things, Ender, but we were good tools if humanity survived.

An enemy, Ender Wiggin, the old man whispered. I am your enemy, the first enemy who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can prevent him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. I am your teacher from now on.
