“An eye for an eye? How Christian of you.'

Unbelievers always want other people to act like Christians.”

“Remember, the enemy's gate is down.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game

“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.

I destroy them.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game
