Amerikali yazar ve elestirmen Orson Scott Card’in dogum gunu (24 Agustos 1951)
“Herkes Hitlerin ordusu yuzunden guce sahip oldugunu dusunur, cunku oldurmeye cok heveslilerdi ve bu kismen dogru, cunku gercek dunyada, guc her zaman olum tehdidi ve serefsizlik uzerine kurulmustur. Ama cogunlukla, gucu, kelimelerle elde etti, dogru zamanda dogru kelimelerle.” Ender'in Oyunu
“Everyone thinks Hitler got to power because of his armies, because they were willing to kill, and that's partly true, because in the real world power is always build on the threat of death and dishonor. But mostly he got to power on words, on the right words at the right time.”
“Zeck bir ara onun sozunu kesip, babasindan bir alinti yapti. ‘Yaradilis Kitabi, Musa'nin yapabildigi en iyi isi gostermis, Dunya'nin yuvarlak oldugunu bile bilmeyen insanlara evrimi anlatmistir."
‘Sen evrime inaniyor musun? O zaman yaratilan ilk insanin Adem olmasina ne diyorsun?’
‘Adem ismi cok anlamina gelir,’ dedi Zeck. ‘O primatlar klaninda bir suru erkek vardi, Tanri onlardan birini secti, ona Ruhuyla dokundu ve onun icine insan ruhunu yerlestirdi. Ilk konusabilen ve digerlerine de isim veren Adem'di, digerleri de ona benziyordu ama onlar insan degildi cunku Tanri onlara insan ruhu vermemisti...’ " Savas Okulunda Yilbasi
Zeck interrupted her, quoting Father. ‘The book of Genesis represents the best job that Moses could do, explaining evolution to people who didn't even know the Earth was round.’
‘You believe in evolution? Then what about Adam as the first man?’
‘The name Adam means many,' said Zeck. ‘There were many males in that troop of primates, when God chose one of them and touched him with his Spirit and put the soul of a man inside. It was Adam who first had language and named the other primates, the ones that looked like him but were not human because God had not given them souls…’ "
