Orson Scott Card

Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth.

"I taught you everything you know. But I didn't teach you everything I know."

"You must be good company for yourself."

"Not me. My memories."

"Maybe that's who you are, what you remember."

Every time, I've won because I could understand the way my enemy thought. From what they did . I could tell what they thought I was doing, how they wanted the battle to take shape. And I played off of that. I'm very good at that. Understanding how other people think.

I Live with You

My needs are simple and few, thought Valentine. Food. Clothing. A comfortable place to sleep. And no idiots.

Good is good because it's better than bad, though why it's better to be good than bad depends on how you define good, and on and on."
