A funeral is no place for secrets.
Mitch Albom Quote #4
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops -Henry Adams
Mitch Albom Quote #5
A wind blew, and the sand around his drawing scattered. He wrapped his fingers inside his wife's, and Father Time rekindled a connection he had only ever had with her. He surrendered to that sensation and felt the final drops of their lives touch one another, like water in a cave, top meets bottom, Heaven meets Earth.
As their eyes closed, a different set of eyes opened, and they rose from the ground as a shared south, up and up, a sun and a moon in a single sky.Mitch Albom Quote #6
All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.
Mitch Albom Quote #7
All weddings... It never changes, when the groom lifts the veil, when the bride accepts the ring, the possibilities you see in their eyes, it's the same around the world. They truly believe their love and their marriage is going to break all records.
Mitch Albom Quote #8
All who are born are always dying.
Mitch Albom Quote #9
And a man without memories is just a shell.
Mitch Albom Quote #10
And is often the case with faith, I thought I was being asked a favor, when in fact I was being given one.
Mitch Albom Quote #11
As usual, he saves his wife's for last. He leans on the cane and he looks at the headstone and he thinks about many things. Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.
Mitch Albom Quote #12
At a certain point, your life is more about your legacy to your kids than anything else.
Mitch Albom Quote #13
Be compassionate ... and take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be a better place.
Mitch Albom Quote #14
Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.
Mitch Albom Quote #15
Behind all your stories is always your mother's story. Because hers is where yours begin.
Mitch Albom Quote #16
Being unheard is the ground floor of giving up, and giving up is the ground floor of doing yourself in. It’s not so much, what’s the point? It’s more like, what’s the difference?
Mitch Albom Quote #17
Belief, hard work, love–you have those things, you can do anything.
Mitch Albom Quote #18
But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begins.
Mitch Albom Quote #19
But everyone knows someone who has died, I said.
Why is it so hard to think about dying?
'Because,' Morrie continued, 'most of us walk around as if we're sleepwalking. We really don't experience the world fully, because we're half asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do.'
And facing death changes all that?
'Oh, yes. You strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials. When you realize you are going to die, you see everything much differently.'
He sighed. 'Learn how to die, and you learn how to live.Mitch Albom Quote #20
But I do know we’re deficient in some way. We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don’t satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.
Mitch Albom Quote #21
But it's hard to explain, Mitch. Now that I'm suffering, I feel closer to people who suffer than I ever did before. The other night, on TV, I saw people in Bosnia running across the street, getting fired upon, killed, innocent victims... and I just started to cry. I feel their anguish as if it were my own. I don't know any of these people. But--how can I put this?--I'm almost... drawn to them.
Mitch Albom Quote #22
But my father, a thief in many ways, had robbed me of my concentration.
Mitch Albom Quote #23
But she wasn’t around, and that’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.
Mitch Albom Quote #24
But then, I knew so little about my mother over the last decade of her life. I had been too wrapped up in my own drama.
Mitch Albom Quote #25
Children forget that sometimes. They think of themselves as a burden instead of a wish granted.
Mitch Albom Quote #26
Cuando cae un rayo después de que te hayas ido, o se estrella un avión en el que podrías haber estado. Cuando tu compañero de trabajo enferma y tú no. Creemos que esas cosas son fortuitas, pero hay un equilibrio en todo. Uno se marchita, otro crece. El nacimiento y la muerte forman parte de un todo.
Mitch Albom Quote #27
Death ends a life, not a relationship.
Mitch Albom Quote #28
Didn't people call New Year's the loneliest night on the calender? She took comfort in knowing somewhere on the planet, someone might be as miserable as she was.
Mitch Albom Quote #29
Don't fall asleep in classes. It's such a lucky thing you have, to be taught and to be learning and not have to be working in a shop somewhere.
Mitch Albom Quote #30
Dying is only one thing to be sad over. Living unhappily is something else.
