Ender's Game

"Ender's Game doesn't permit mercy."

"He was born for command."

"Children are cheap."

"Beating them is what I'm good for."

"I came here to win a game."

"What if I can't? What if I lose?"

"Humans can always be counted on to act in their own interest."

"You're the only one who can command the fleet when the time comes."

"I am my enemy."

"Games are the only perfection."

"The way we win at games is by being smarter than the other fellow."

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

"I think like you do. We're not really very different, Mazer and I."

"Compassion is the greatest strength a warrior can possess."

"Simulation and reality are becoming indistinguishable."

"The fantasies that sustain us are increasingly at war with reality."

"I am a monster, but I'm a human monster."

"Every game has rules, but life does not."

"Children are not naturally honest creatures."

"The isolation is worse than the training."

"I will do whatever it takes to stop the war."

"We never know which of our actions will prove important."

"Jealousy is the greatest curse of all."

"The saddest thing about any person is that when he has truly lived, he must die."

"He was afraid of his power and what it might do."

"The game is never a game for those who fight it."

"I am no longer willing to bend my will to the demands of others."

"The enemy's gate is down."

"Most of the time it wasn't the other armies I had to fight. It was my own."

"You're not the only slave here. We're all slaves of this war."
