  4. Orson Scott Card _ Ender's Game

    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.

  9. Orson Scott Card _ Speaker for the Dead

    No human being, when you understand his desires, is worthless. No one's life is nothing. Even the most evil of men and women, if you understand their hearts, had some generous act that redeems them, at least a little, from their sins.
