“Go home all you boys who fought with me and help build up the shattered fortunes of our old state”

“And what are you doing on it, I would like to know? Running away from home, yesno? If you were a boy I'd say are you going to seek your fortune?""Can't girls seek their fortune?""I think they're supposed to seek a boy with a fortune.”

“Be proud, Bonito, pretty boy. You can go home and tell your father, Yes, I beat up Ender Wiggin, who was barely ten years old, and I was thirteen. And I had only six of my friends to help me, and somehow we managed to defeat him, even though he was naked and wet and alone--Ender Wiggin is so dangerous and terrifying it was all we could do not to bring two hundred.”

“I haven't fought with anyone else in over two thousand years. (Kyrian)Well, you're never too old to learn. (Amanda)You can't teach an old dog new tricks. (Kyrian)There's no time like the present. (Amanda)Time is of the essence. (Kyrian)God helps those who help themselves. (Amanda)You're not going to let me win this, are you? (Kyrian)”

“Boys Shack, MEN build homes”

“i get a little romantic about the old Empire State. Just looking at it makes me want to play some Frank Sinatra tunes and sway a little. I have a crush on a building. I'd been in there several times but never to work. I always knew there were offices in there but the face never penetrated, really. You don't work in the Empire State Building. You propose in the Empire State Building. You sneak a flask up there and raise a toast to the whole city of New York.”
