Orson Scott Card

"Among my most prized possessions are the words that I have never spoken. "

"Human beings are free except when humanity needs them. "

"Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf. Survival first, then happiness as we can manage it. "

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. "

"Your work is first, learning is first, winning is everything because without it there is nothing. "
