I know everyone hates Orson Scott Card, including me at this point, but before he went full rear end in a top hat I read a few of his books in the early 90s. In particular, I have always been struck by this exchange at the very opening of Xenocide: "The inability to move frees me from the obligation to act." "You who speak languages, you are such liars." I don't want to give OSC too much of a sloppy blowjob here (not that he wouldn't enjoy it, I'm sure) but goddamn, that is one of those short little things with surprising depth. I'm not saying it's on the level of a great Zen koan, but I think it's pretty interesting.
