Book: Children of the mind

- Oh, Ender, thought Valentine, as I wanted you to live a life of joy. But nobody is available. We learn to speak, and the language comes to us, bearing the lies and threats, cruelty and disappointment. We learn to walk, and each step takes us away from the rest home. To keep the joy of childhood, need to die as a child or never to grow up, not grow. So, you can grieve about the lost child, but do not regret the good man strengthened by pain and jerseyses fault, which, in spite of everything, was kind to me and to many other people that I loved and almost knew. Almost, almost understood.

Ender has left us a priceless gift - has freed us from the illusion that it is possible to find one single explanation that contains the final answer on all occasions, for all listeners. There will always be a place for new discoveries, new stories.

The man who risks his life knows that careers are worthless, and the person who will never risk their career, leads a worthless life.

The truth believe only in those cases when it lies on the surface, said Wanmu. - If it is too unusual, you have to invent a plausible lie.

"I killed a child, he thought it was just a game, so my death is not such a heavy weight will fall on his shoulders." No, Ender himself would have said, "This death weighs no less than all the other deaths, and I agree to take the blame. My hands have as much blood as there was not one person; therefore, I will Speak the brutal truth about those who died without forgiveness, and show you that even these people can understand".
But he was wrong, they cannot understand. To talk about the death of others is possible only because the dead are silent and can't correct our mistakes. Ender is dead and he can't fix me, so some of you think that I said everything right, you'll think I'm Telling the truth about him, but the truth is that no one person can understand another person's life. There is no truth to know, there is only history, which seems to us true, a story that, according to other, true, story want to accept the truth. But it's all a lie".

I'm very smart - much smarter than you and Ender, so don't forget about it, but I never learned to understand you, creatures of meat, with your infamous "intuitive conclusions". I like the way of your ignorance you're doing a virtue. You always act irrationally because you just don't have enough information to act differently.

I too cherished the pain, so I decided that his attacks give me the right to insult him even more. However, if I apologize, he laughed at me. But I'd rather be ridiculed for what I did right than be respected for mistakes.

To change the world, want those who wished to glorify their names. And happiness - for those who enter their names into other people's lives and protects their hearts as the dearest value.
