Orson Scott CardI carry the seeds of death within me and plant them wherever I linger long enough to love.
About This Quote
We all have the seeds of death within us. The seeds of death are what differentiates humans from everything else. They represent the ache for power, the desire to control others, and a thirst for revenge. These feelings are what make us humans and they are only a stepping stone to greater things. However, these seeds of death can be kept in check if we can learn to shut them down for a little while.
