― Orson Scott Card, Children of the Mind

“When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely. But when the other person doesn't yet know that he needs your wisdom you keep it to yourself. Food only looks good to a hungry man.”

“Such feelings are natural. They come and go quickly. Only those who make them a way of life are to be condemned for them.”
― Orson Scott Card, Xenocide
