  11. Ender’s Game genocide vs. Rwandan genocide

  12. *“Ender, we didn't go to them first, they came to us. If they were going to leave us alone, they could have done it a hundred years ago, before the First Invasion.” (Card, 253). • -Colonel Graff

  13. *"I didn’t want to kill them all. I didn’t want to kill anybody! I’m not a killer!” (297). • -Ender

  14. "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." (35). -Colonel Graff
