Ender Wiggin

"A game is only fun if you play to win."

"Victory without understanding is just destruction."

"To know your enemy is to become your enemy."

"I think it is impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves."

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that moment I also love him."

"We are not actually enemies at all. We are allies against the common enemy."

"I am much more satisfied with them now than I was before, when I thought they were going to be different people."

"My teachers wanted to reach me but they didn't know how to reach the part of me that was eager to learn."

"They've sent me out to fight a war, so now I have to fight it."

"I think you're still hung up on the old idea that kids should be seen and not heard."

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him."

"I will go on. That's what I have to do."

"I am really very tired."

"I can't do this alone."

"What if I'm wrong? What if there was a way to live in peace?"

"I didn't want to hurt anyone. I only wanted to win."

"In the moment of victory, I was most alone."

"The enemy's gate is down."

"I will not kill again."

"I am not a killer. I am what I had to become."

"I want to go home."

"They made me do this. I didn't choose this path."

"I understand you now. That's why I'm sorry."

"I am not what they made me into."

"I will honor what you were."

"I don't care if I'm human or not. I'm me, and I want to stay that way."

"I am not a killer. You are not a killer."

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, I destroy him."

"I want to go home."

"I will be cold. I can be cold. I'm a killer."
