Summary

This quote suggests that the value of a work of art lies solely in its influence and significance to the individual experiencing it, rather than its impact on society as a whole. It implies that art is deeply personal and subjective, and its worth should be determined on an individual level. Society's reception or recognition of a work does not inherently define its importance; rather, it is the personal connection and meaning it holds for an individual that truly matters.

If only we could have talked to you, the hive-queen said in Ender's words. But since it could not be, we ask only this: that you remember us, not as enemies, but as a tragic sisters, changed into fol shape by fate or God or evolution. If we had kissed, it would have been the miracle to make us human in each other's eyes. Instead we killed each other. But still we welcome you now as guestfriends. Come into our home, daughters of Earth; dwell in our tunnels, harvest our fields; what we cannot do, you are now our hands to do for us. Blossom, trees;ripen, fields; be warm for them, suns; be fertile for them, planets:they are our adopted daughters, and they have come home.
