When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it
is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and
touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of
despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not
knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend
who cares.

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember.
you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most
important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.
It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy
words like "What about lunch?

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 think its impossible to really understand somebody, what they
want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very
moment when I love them.... I destroy them.

I think that most of us, anyway, read these stories that we know are not "true" because we're hungry
for another kind of truth: the mythic truth about human nature in general, the particular truth about
those life-communities that define our own identity, and the most specific truth of all: our own selfstory. Fiction, because it is not about someone who lived in the real world, always has the possibility
of being about oneself. --From the Introduction

An enemy, Ender Wiggin," whispered the old man. "I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had
who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you
what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer.
Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the
rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am
your enemy from now on. From now on I am your teacher.

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.

We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet.

What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
