Orson Scott Card (Narrator)

"Isolation was his greatest strength and his deepest wound."

"He carried the weight of two worlds."

"His childhood ended the moment he arrived at Battle School."

"He was a prodigy in a world that needed geniuses."

"Humans can imagine friendship with little green men and love them dearly in their hearts and still kill them without hesitation if their orders require it."

"The human race would never have launched the Formic fleet if they hadn't felt absolutely sure they needed to."

"Valentine was his anchor to sanity."

"He was a weapon, and now the war was over."

"Ender Wiggin, the boy who saved us all."

"He would have been a great military commander."

"That is the way it will always be, as long as there are humans."

"He was not a natural leader."

"Nothing he was told was true except the war."

"In the game, he was not constrained by moral law."

"This is the way the human race has always worked."

"His genius was not a gift. It was a weapon."

"I don't think they expected this of him."

"They couldn't have found anyone better."

"The game always knew what he was capable of."

"He was given the choice to stay or leave, and he chose duty."

"The patterns of this war repeat endlessly."

"The human race is unique in its ability to betray itself."

"The trick is not becoming trapped by either hate or love."

"We needed a leader, and they gave us a child."

"The real enemy is anyone who chooses to believe lies."

"Fear is the greatest weapon of all."

"The games are real, and the consequences are eternal."

"Love makes us vulnerable, but it also makes us human."

"Battle School teaches more than military strategy."

"They wanted a hero, but they created a weapon instead."
