"It seems insane. Free speech is one thing, but to jeopardize the League over nationalistic rivalries--and it's for people like that, short-sighted, suicidal people, that we're pushing Ender to the edge of human endurance."


"I think you underestimate Ender."


"But I fear that I also underestimate the stupidity of the rest of mankind."

"Product of Loneliness"

Hint: Count the syllables in this poem.

I
Search my
Life for you,
To find your being
In myself,
To love
You.

You
Lived bound
By your fear,
Left in solitude,
Scared to find
A new
You.

We
Found each
Other as
Complements to our
Own lackings,
You, me —
We.
