Orson Scott Card Quote

I never went to the priests to confess, she said, because I knew they would despise me for my sin. Yet when you named all my sins today, I could bear it because I knew you didn’t despise me. I couldn’t understand why, though, till now.I’m not one to despise other people for their sins, said Ender. I haven’t found one yet, that I didn’t say inside myself, I’ve done worse than this.All these years you’ve borne the burden of humanity’s guilt.
