“More than my own life”
“You're more precious than my own life to me, Bianca.”
“I’m not selfish. I’d gladly give someone’s life, a more valuable life than my own, while I humbly preserve and keep my own meager life for myself.”
“Did you ever realize you have more opinions about my life than your own life?”
“Oh, I'll live Ender's life, too. It's so much more interesting than my own."~Val”
“In my view, fate is like intelligence, or beauty, or type z + lymphocytes - some individuals have a greater supply than others. I, for one, suffer from a deficiency; I am a clerk in a bookstore whose life is devoid of complications or a storyline of its own. My life is governed by the attraction of books. The weak magnetic field of my fate is distorted by those thousands of fates more powerful and more interesting than my own.”
