“ For the first time, Ender had found a living mind he could admire. ”
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 love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.
~ Orson Scott Card
Life is full of grief, to exactly the degree we allow ourselves to love other people.
You’re not a human being until you value something more than the life of your body. And the greater the thing you live and die for the greater you are.
You're a monster.Thanks. Does this mean I get a raise?No, just a medal. The budget isn't inexhaustable.
