“It’s only when you stop trying to find faults and start doing something constructive that you will survive … It’s just good for you as a human not to dwell on your disasters.”

“Human beings are free except when humanity needs them. Maybe humanity needs you. To do something. Maybe humanity needs me—to find out what you're good for. We might both do despicable things, Ender, but if humankind survives, then we were good tools.”

“If you try and lose then it isn't your fault. But if you don't try and we lose, then it's all your fault.”

“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.”

“Love finds you when you start feeling incomplete in life. Love finds the good in you despite having millions of flaws in you. Love holds your hand and removes the emptiness of your life and you start loving yourself.”

“There's a difference between living and just surviving. Do something you love, and find someone to love who loves that you love what you do.
It is really that simple.
And that hard.”

“By then I knew that everything good and bad left an emptiness when it stopped. But if it was bad, the emptiness filled up by itself. If it was good you could only fill it by finding something better.”

“Hope disappears when you stop believing in yourself, it disappears when your thinking makes you crippled. it Disappears when you're not able to find a solution of your problems. It happens when you start feeling hopeless in front of your troubles.”

“I hate the way, once you start to know someone, care about them, their behavior can distress you, even when it's unreasonable and not your fault, even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.”

“You surround yourself with your pain or you avoid it and let it find you when you are trying to do other things”
