Quote by Jan Kaus

“Kuidas on inimesed harjunud lähedusest mõtlema? "Armastage mind tingimusteta ja ma armastan teid tingimustega vastu." Tõeline nõelasilm kaamelile: ihata inimest, mitte tema iha.”

“Pinnapealsed tüdrukud pinnapealseteks suhteks. Tüdrukud, kes ei täitnud ta ootusi ja eesmarke. Pettumused, kes tuli parema tulemuse saavutamiseks välja vahetada. Või polnud see nii? Äkki me ei saanudki ta vastuolulistele ootustele vastata. Sa pead ju iga kord sukelduma, kui tahad põhja puudutada, pead unustuseks minema peaaegu niisama kaugele, kui selle esimesega. Aga kui sa kardad põhja, püüad vältida rõhku ja hapnikupuudust, hoiad sa nina pinnal, teed lõpu enne, kui liiga hilja. Ringmäng kestab. Järgmine raund jälle pinna peal. Järgmine-järgmine-järgmine.”

“Graff had isolated Ender to make him struggle. To make him prove, not that he was competent, but that he was far better than everyone else. That was the only way he could win respect and friendship. It made him a better soldier then he would ever have been otherwise. It also made him lonely, afraid, angry, untrusting. And maybe those traits, too, made him a better soldier.”

“I had the foolish idea that we should test for desirable and useful traits so that we could assemble ideally balanced teams to the colonies. [...] It's like those foolish attempts to control immigration to America based on the traits that were deemed desirable, when in fact the only trait that defines Americans historically is "descended from somebody willing to give up everything to live there.”
