"To my son. Know yourself"

Here's a great letter I received from Skyler who recognized one of the most important lines in the book. When Thom is running away from home, he grabs his old photo albums. Under the pictures, he finds a pictoral history of a life he never knew his parents lived. And a message to his from his long, lost mother: "To my son. Know Yourself."

"to my son, know yourself", it was the best quote I had ever read, I think I actually read that page 3 times over. It was so meaningful and inspiring that it set the mood for the rest of the book, to find yourself. This was the best book I have ever read and I only hope that you write more like it. The book reaches out to every single teenager, and gives them hope, it gives them voice, and lets them know that different is okay. I loved your book, and I really hope that there will be a movie.

sincerely,
skyler


DOES ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAVE OTHER FAVORITE QUOTES FROM THE BOOK?
