More from Orson Scott Card
He was wild the way a mistreated dog becomes wild, not because it loves freedom, but because it has lost trust.
He would rather lose his power for doing right, than keep his power by doing wrong. Because he loves his people more than he loves his office.
Sunday morning, he decided, is designed to let sinners have a sample of the first day of eternity in hell.
