Ender Wiggin

"You think this game is yours to lose. But you're already lost."

"I've already won. You can't hurt me anymore. I won't let you."

"When you know you're beaten, you give up."

"All this time, I've been thinking like a military commander. But I should have been thinking like a human being."

"I can win this. I know I can. But I don't want to."

"I didn't want any of this. I just wanted to play."

"I never asked to be a hero. I just wanted to go home."

"The buggers are not monsters. They're just like us."

"I'm not a general. I'm a child. I shouldn't have to do this."

"Victory means defeating the enemy. But they weren't the enemy."

"What if I'm wrong? What if I've made a terrible mistake?"

"I've already defeated him. I don't need to fight anymore."

"They made me a murderer. I'm going to find a way to undo it."

"Everyone said I was a natural. That meant they would never let me rest."

"I learned to play the game. But I forgot how to be a person."

"I could never go home. Home didn't exist anymore."

"They wanted me to become a god. But gods don't feel anything."

"The war was over before I was old enough to understand it."

"I'm not special. I'm just unlucky."

"I didn't have a choice. None of us did."

"I could see their patterns. I understood their weaknesses."

"I will never forgive myself. And I shouldn't."

"The victory came at a cost I can never repay."

"I was a tool. They sharpened me and used me and threw me away."

"I learned that the greatest strategy is understanding. The greatest weapon is empathy."

"They made me a weapon. I will spend my life trying to be something else."
