Orson Scott Card
“Wow" said Abra. "But if they could read your mind , why couldn't they beat you?
"Because my victories weren't in my mind" said Ender. "That's the weird thing. I thought through the battles, yes, but I didn't see them like Bean did. Instead, I saw the people. The soldiers under me. I knew what these kids were capable of. So I put them in a situation where their decisions would be crucial, told them what I wanted them to do, and then I trusted them to make the decisions that would achieve my objective. I didn't actually know what they'd do. So being inside my head would never show the hive queen what I was planning, because I had no plan, not of a kind they could use against me.”
Orson Scott Card, Ender in Exile

Hermann Hesse
“No person has ever been completely himself, but each one strives to become so, some gropingly, others more lucidly, according to his abilities. Each one carries with him to the end traces of his birth, the slime and eggshells of a primordial world. Many a one never becomes a human being, but remains a frog, lizard, or ant.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Orson Scott Card
“Don't judge me until you understand me. You can't understand me if you've already judged me.”
Orson Scott Card, Ender in Exile

Hermann Hesse
“The life of every man is a way to himself, an attempt at a way, the suggestion of a path. No man has ever been utterly himself, yet every man strives to be so, the dull, the intelligent, each one as best he can. Each man to the end of his days carries round with him vestiges of his birth - the slime and egg-shells of the primeval world. There are many who never become humans; they remain frogs, lizards, ants. Many men are human being above and fish below. Yet each one represents an attempt on the part of nature to create a human being.”
Hermann Hesse
