I was in a JROTC program in high school and we went on a field trip to the Colorado State Penitentary, scary I know, but we got to sit and meet with some of the inmates. There was one inparticular that really stuck with me. He was in his mid 40s and was in for killing his wife..even scarier i know.. but he sat and talked with us and told us that one thing he learned while in prison and in the rehabilitaion program he was in was this; "A diamond was once a mere piece of coal, before it was put under a little pressure." that was my favorite quote of all time and it can realte to any part of anyone's life.
My favorite book as a child was Where the wild things are, by Maurice Sendek.
