Speaker for the Dead
Speaker for the Dead is a 1986 science fiction novel by American writer Orson Scott Card, an indirect sequel to the 1985 novel Ender's Game. The book takes place around the year 5270, some 3,000 years after the events in Ender's Game. However, because of relativistic space travel at near-light speed, Ender himself is only about 35 years old.
"As long as you keep getting born, it’s okay to die sometimes."
"Sickness and healing are in every heart. Death and deliverance are in every hand."
"I knew her so well that I loved her, or maybe I loved her so well that I knew her."
"I carry the seeds of death with me and plant them wherever I linger long enough to love. My parents died so others could live; now I live, so others must die."
"We become one tribe because we say were one tribe."
"He loved her, as you can only love someone who is an echo of yourself at your time of deepest sorrow."
"[They] knew each other so well that there was often nothing to say. But without her there, [he] grew impatient with his own thoughts; they never came to a point, because there was no one to tell them to."
"I think you can’t possibly know the truth about somebody unless you love them."
"If people only react to the way that others treat them, then nobody is responsible for anything. If your sins are not your own to choose, then how can you repent?"
"You killed more people than anybody in history." said Olhado, "Be the best at whatever you do, thats what my mother always told me.” said Ender"
"I want to understand everything," said Miro. "I want to know everything and put it all together to see what it means." "Excellent project," she said. "It will look very good on your resume."
"These people came for entertainment, but theyre your targets; you will pierce them to the hearts."
