There's only one thing that will make them stop hating you. And that's being so good at what you do that they can't ignore you."
- Colonel Graff to Ender ("Ender's Game" pg. 35)
There was no doubt in Ender's mind. There was no help for him. Whatever he faced, now and forever, no one would save him from it. Peter might be scum, but Peter had been right, always right; the power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and no one will ever save you.
- Ender ("Ender's Game" pg. 212)
"Ender, if you're on one side of the battle, it won't be equal no matter what the conditions are."
- William Bee to Ender ("Ender's Game" pg. 219)
"Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf. Survival first, then happiness as we can manage it."
- Mazer Rackham to Ender ("Ender's Game" pg. 277)
"In all the world, the name of Ender is one to conjure with. The child-god, the miracle worker, with life and death in his hands. Every petty tyrant-to-be would like to have the boy, to set him in front of an army and watch the world either flock to join or cower in fear."
- Colonel Graff ("Ender's Game" pg. 307)
