"Card, Orson Scott - Ender Wiggins 01 - Ender's Game 1.0b" - читать интересную книгу автора (Card Orson Scott)Ender nodded. "All right. Let's tell them." Mother cried. Father held Ender tight. Peter shook his hand and said, "You lucky little pinheaded fart-eater." Valentine kissed him and left her tears on his cheek. There was nothing to pack. No belongings to take. "The school provides everything you need, from uniforms to school supplies. And as for toys-- there's only one game." "Good-bye," Ender said to his family. He reached up and took Colonel Graff's hand and walked out the door with him. "Kill some buggers for me!" Peter shouted. "I love you, Andrew!" Mother called. "We'll write to you!" Father said. And as he got into the car that waited silently in the corridor, he heard Valentine's anguished cry. "Come back to me! I love you forever!" Chapter 4 -- Launch "With Ender, we have to strike a delicate balance. Isolate him enough that he remains creative-- otherwise he'll adopt the system here and we'll lose him.

"That's where you're mistaken. He's even sweeter. But don't worry. We'll purge that in a hurry." "Sometimes I think you enjoy breaking these little geniuses." "There is an art to it, and I'm very, very good at it. But enjoy? Well, maybe. When they put back the pieces afterward, and it makes them better." "You're a monster." "Thanks. Does this mean I get a raise?" "Just a medal. The budget isn't inexhaustible." |
