When you really know someone, you can't hate him.
Orson Scott Card
Bean could see the hunger in their eyes. Not the regular hunger, for food, but the real hunger, the deep hunger, for family, for love, for belonging.

Orson Scott Card
Rumors are the sauce of a dry life.
Orson Scott Card
I didn't want to see you. They told me. I was afraid that I'd still love you. I hoped that you would.
Orson Scott Card
Ender understood more than she said. Manipulation of gravity was one thing deception by the officers was another but the most important message was this: the adults are the enemy, not the other armies. They do not tell us the truth.
Orson Scott Card
Once you get a brother, you don’t give him up easy.
Orson Scott Card
What am I now, Alai? Still good. At what? At--anything. There's a million soldiers who'd follow you to the end of the universe. I don't want to go to the end of the universe. So where do you want to go? They'll follow you. I want to go home, thought Ender, but I don't know where it is.
Orson Scott Card
