Ender's Game

"You're so smart. But not smart enough."

"I can win this game, and I can win it big."

"The enemy's gate is down."

"Most people are not going to look back on their life and see an unstoppable march toward victory and happiness. Everyone has failures."

"Ender's Game is designed to make commanders killers."

"The way to win is to find an enemy and defeat him."

"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 think it's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they want to be loved."

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."

"He'll do what needs to be done."

"Compassion is a word that describes the situation of watching someone who is important to you suffer."

"I don't want to play anymore."

"You are the hope of humanity."

"I can win this. I know I can win this."

"The battle room is a place of truth."

"He's too much a leader already."

"I know what it is to be a soldier. But these little boys?"

"Humanity does not ask us to be happy. It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf."

"It's not just that I'm so good. It's that everyone else is so bad."

"A commander's most important job is to give orders that can be obeyed."

"Half a day for sleep, and the rest for games and training."

"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."

"Kneel down. The speaker's knees were trembling. Ender knelt."

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

"The enemy's gate is down."
