Quote:

"There is no god and we are his prophets."

This quote shows how horrible the living conditions were in the time the man and the child were living. It shows how the god the man see's is the god of death and despair and how he and his son are just there to show the world what is left. This quote is very inspirational because it shows how little hope there is in the world in one short simple sentence.

Quote: 
" All mothers are slightly insane."
This quote is very inspirational because it appeals to the audience. Not only is the quote true but most people can say ya their mom's are a bit crazy and when they can connect like this they tend to like the book more. Its not an inspirational quote by itself its what the reader thinks is what makes it important.  This book was originally meant to be an adult book but the themes in this book have to deal with teenagers.
