Author of quotes: Orson Scott Card

"I want so little and very simple, thought Valentine. - Food. Clothing. A cozy place to sleep. And no idiots!"
But admittedly, a world without idiots would be a pretty lonely place. And to be honest, it would have been in this world for her?

- ... Even if such thing as free will, does not exist in nature, we should still treat each other like it is to preserve the society in which we live. Because otherwise, every time somebody does something terrible, you can't punish him. There was nothing he could do - his genes, environment, or God himself forced him to do so. And every time someone will do the honourable thing, you can't submit to him, because he's just a puppet. And if you think that all around the puppet, so why talk to them? Why seek somewhere, something to create, once all your ideas, your creation, your dream or dreams - just the script that is attached to you by your puppeteer.
Hopelessness, summed up Miro.
- So we accept ourselves and all others as creatures with a will of its own. We treat each other like we are driven by the arising in the mind of intention, and not some unknown Creator. We punish criminals. We reward altruists. We are making plans for the future and put them into practice. We promise and anticipated fulfillment of the word. Everything is sewn with white thread, but when everyone believe in that the actions of others - the result of free choice, and will be treated accordingly to rights and duties, the final result will be the civilization.

I talked to Ender and his sister Valentine. She is a historian.
What does that mean?
- She is studying different books to get acquainted with the history of mankind, and then writes stories about what she could find, and passes the rest of the people.
But if history someone already stated, why did she write it?
- Because they don't understand. She helps people understand them better.
- Once lived in those times failed to understand how she came through century after it happened, maybe to understand something?
- I asked her the same question, and Valentine said that she always interprets them literally. The old writers were guided by what was important to their era, and she represents the past as it should look in the eyes of the people her age.
- So history is not the same?
- No.
But every time they take it for true coverage?
Valentina something explained about the fact that some stories may be true, others are true. I really do not understand.
- Why they did not immediately remember the history in details? Then they would not have to constantly lie to each other.

- 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.

- It is better to have loved and lost - he muttered under his breath, than not to love at all.
- Can statement and trite - agreed with him Jane. Only this does not mean that there is no truth.

Is the worst thing you can do in your own life, she said. - To help the people you love, in the fact that deep down, I think it is absolutely wrong.

Is not a solution. Not the action.
- If you're not trying to prevent the murder, which can easily warn, don't become a killer herself?

The day is over. Han FEI-Tzu tired; the eyes are cut from extended reading. A dozen times already he's set up screen colors, trying to find something quieter. Nothing helped. The last time such intense he worked while studying, but then he was young. And then he always achieved some results. I better assimilate the knowledge faster. Achievement was my reward. Now I'm old and slow, doing completely new areas, and it is possible that all these problems do not have solutions. Because of the no reward does not motivate me to work. Nothing but fatigue, stiff neck and swollen, reddened eyes.
