Judith Lewis Herman
“Rape could be considered the signal crime of male supremacy, a pure enactment of power for its own sake.”
Judith Lewis Herman, Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice

Orson Scott Card
“My greatest teacher once told me,” said Yasujiro, “that a man who has risked his life knows that careers are worthless, and a man who will not risk his career has a worthless life.”
Orson Scott Card, Children of the Mind

Orson Scott Card
“In my view, suicide is not really the wish for life to end.” “What is it, then?” “It is the only way a powerless person can find to make everybody else look away from his shame. The wish is not to die, but to hide.” “As Adam and Eve hid from the Lord.” “Because they were naked.” “If only such sad people could remember: Everyone is naked. Everyone wants to hide. But life is still sweet. Let it go on.”
Orson Scott Card, Ender's Shadow

Orson Scott Card
“Sometimes I think you enjoy breaking these little geniuses.” “There is an art to it, and I’m very, very good at it. But enjoy? Well, maybe. When they put back the pieces afterward, and it makes them better.” “You’re a monster.” “Thanks. Does this mean I get a raise?” “Just a medal. The budget isn’t inexhaustible.”
Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game

Orson Scott Card
“It’s killers they need for the bugger wars. It’s people who can grind the enemy’s face into the dust and spatter their blood all over space. Well, I’m your man. I’m the bloody bastard you wanted when you had me spawned. I’m your tool, and what difference does it make if I hate the part of me that you most need?”
Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game
