I also love the explanation of why there have to be aliens. something like "because it's pretty egotistical of us to think we're the only ones here." Awesome. I’m so with you Amber.

As someone raised without religion or God and with a profound belief in science, I totally got that. I just loved the way she explained what she believes in when they asked her about a higher power.

That movie is so quotable. "Plaaaeeese Heeelp" My favorite: Dr. Ellie Arroway from Contact. book and movie. She's an intellectual badass who doesn't let the naysayers get her down. Love her. Also would like to be her in that "I want to meet the aliens first" kind of way. Horray for props to fifth element. That movie is so quotable. “Plaaaeeese Heeelp”

They are so different from each other. And while I've read them all, I've only read the others once. Therefore my memory of them is of all the smooshed together highlights that I found interesting regarding Ender's character.
