Orson Scott Card

Everybody dies. What matters is what you do between now and when it happens to you.

Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life, Ender. The best you can do is choose to be controlled by good people, by people who love you.

To have a choice at all is to be free - even when the choice is between two terrible things.

They get us to fight each other, to hate each other, the game is everything. Win win win. It amounts to nothing.

Sickness and healing are in every heart; death and deliverance in every hand.

The future is a hundred thousand threads, but the past is a fabric that can never be rewoven.
