More from Orson Scott Card
A dagger has only a single point, but a traitor cuts from anywhere.
We don't admit it to ourselves, not until the very moment of death, but in that moment, we see all life before us and we understand how we chose, every day of our lives, the manner of our death.
Why give you answers you wont believe? Well, answers I don't believe would be a step forward.
