Orson Scott Card Quotes on Simplicity

4 quotes

  1. Simple food but it tasted good and they were satisfied.

  2. What do you mean, 'ah'? Just 'ah.' does every 'ah' have to mean something?

  3. Many who were listening felt a vague disquiet. They had expected oration. Instead the Speaker's voice was nothing remarkable. And his words had none of the formality of religious speech.

  4. Tell the story plainly and clearly.
