" I think you can’t possibly know the truth about somebody unless you love them. I think the Speaker loved Father. Marcão, I mean. I think he understood him and loved him before he spoke.” Mother didn’t answer, because she knew that it was true. “And I know he loves Grego, and Quara, and Olhado. And Miro, and even Quim. And me. I know he loves me. And when he shows me that he loves me, I know it’s true because he never lies to anybody. "

― Orson Scott Card , Speaker for the Dead (Ender's Saga, #2)
