Would you want to look into a proverbial doorway to your soul? Do you really know everything that lies within?

"Some people might think tha tbecause you're being a soldier, you are now a cruel and hard person who likes to hurt people like the Marines in the videos, but i know that isn't true. You are nothing like you-know-who" (Card 137).

Katie Vann said:

"The launch was no longer divided into Bernard's in-group and Ender's outcasts. Alai was the bridge." (Card 62)

Even before we were blogging, Card was warning us.
“Peter took careful note of all their most memorable phrases and then did searches from time to time to find those phrases cropping up in other places. Not all of them did, but most of them were repeated here and there, and some of them even showed up in the major debates on the prestige nets. ‘We’re being read,’ Peter said. ‘The ideas are seeping out’” (Card 135).

“Valentine celebrated Ender’s eighth birthday alone, in the wooded back yard of their new home in Greensboro. She scraped a patch of ground bare of pine needles and leaves, and there scratched his name in the dirt with a twig.” (Card 122)

"'I'm a girl,' she said, 'and you're a pissant of a six-year-old. We have so much in common, why don't we be friends?'"

"You fool, Bonzo. You aren't enforcing discipline, you're destroying it."

"Fairness is a wonderful attribute, Major Anderson. It has nothing to do with war" (Card 97).

Ally Hall said:

“‘I know, you’ve been here a year, you think these people are normal. Well, they’re not. We’re not. I look in the library, I call up books on my desk. Old ones, because they won’t let us have anything new, but I’ve got a pretty good idea what children are, and we’re not children. Children can lose sometimes and nobody cares. Children aren’t in armies, they aren’t commanders, they don’t rule over forty other kids, it’s more than anybody can take and not get a little crazy’” (Card, 118).

"He made his way down underground, through the tunnels, to the cliff ledge overlooking the beautiful forest. Again he threw himself down, and again a cloud caught him and carried him into the castle turret room." (Ender's Game 117)

""Is it some law of human nature that you inevitably become whatever your first commander was? I can quit right now, if that's so" (Card 166)."

Sounds like Ender is afraid of the apple falls not far from the tree theory:
