For children love is a feeling for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.

There's no need to legalize gay marriage. I have plenty of gay friends who are committed couples some of them call themselves married, some don't, but their friends treat them as married. Anybody who doesn't like it just doesn't hang out with them.

And what? What's the other choice? To passively let things happen and then say: Tut-tut, what at botch that was? Don't we all manipulate people? Even if we openly ask them to make a choice, don't we try to frame it so they'll chose as we think they should?

Perhaps every writer who thoroughly creates a fictional world will inevitably create a mirror of his own time and yet also create a world that no one else but him has ever visited.

Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life, Ender.

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.

I think that a good person can sometimes do wrong out of ignorance or weakness or wrong thinking, but when hard times come, the goodness wins out after all. And a bad person can often seem good and trustworthy for a long time, but when hard times come, the evil in him gets revealed.

If he was a good man, how could he leave me? So he must not be a good man. But if he isn't good, then why does it hurt so much to lose him?

I have to win this now, and for all time, or I’ll fight it every day and it will get worse and worse.

So I want to ask you a hypothetical question. My favorite kind. Next to rhetorical ones. I can nap equally well through either kind.

Parents always make their worst mistakes with their oldest children. That's when parents know the least and care the most, so they're more likely to be wrong and also more likely to insist that they're right.
