| c6400bf | The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. Love is the only rational act. | Mitch Albom | ||
| d234c50 | A few good ones include Richard Horne's "101 Things To Do Before You Die," Lori Nelson Spielman's "The Life List," and Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie." -- | Vincent Santiago | ||

| 22fc3f6 | But today is not yesterday, and the Reb could do nothing but listen to the worst imaginable words--We couldn't save her--told to him by a doctor he had never met before that night. How could this happen? She had been perfectly normal earlier in the day, a playful child, her whole life before her. We couldn't save her? Where is the logic, the order of life? | Mitch Albom | ||
| 16eaf3d | Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future." " What's that?" "Hope." | live-on look-forward-to-life time | Mitch Albom | |
| fdffac1 | The culture we have does not make people feel ood about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it." -Morrie-" | life | Mitch Albom | |
| 8857e25 | Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" he says. The tension of opposites? "Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle." | Mitch Albom | ||
| da988fc | Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved | Mitch Albom | ||
| bccdf7a | The way I see it, that's what we're getting here, soldier. That's what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays." | Mitch Albom | ||
| ea75164 | Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 7f3a137 | Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else. | Mitch Albom | ||
| b8b2f35 | The lust for power is combustible thing | Mitch Albom | ||
| f5757dc | Is this what comes at the end, I wondered? Maybe death is the great equaliser, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another. | equaliser empathy shed feel tear stranger equal end | Mitch Albom | |
| 563ff6d | The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. His voice dropped to a whisper. "Let it come in. We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, 'Love is the only rational act." | enter life love give receive rational wise soft important | Mitch Albom | |
| c1bb022 | Scenery without solace is meaningless | Mitch Albom | ||
| 8152c09 | Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?' " He turned his head to his shoulder as if the bird were there now." | Mitch Albom | ||
| d313e05 | I wasn't there when you died." "That's not your fault." "I never said good-bye." "Such a needless word," she said, "when you love somebody." | Mitch Albom | ||
| 040270b | Hurting ourselves to inflict pain on others is just another cry to be loved | Mitch Albom | ||
| 347a25d | Holding on things will only break your heart | Mitch Albom | ||
| 5489e68 | Some of these things I understand, some I do not. It makes no difference. The discussions give me an excuse to talk to him, fatherly conversations I cannot have with my father, who would like me to be a lawyer. | fatherly figure own discussion other difference excuse understand talk | Mitch Albom | |
| 163ecfb | Sticking with your family is what makes it a family. | Mitch Albom | ||
| dd51f6f | And slowly a discussion begins - as Morrie has wanted all along - about the effect of silence on human relations. Why are we embarrassed by silence? What comfort do we find in all the noise? | relation silence human embarrass effect discuss quiet noise | Mitch Albom | |
| 2b1950a | One afternoon, I am complaining about the confusion of my age, what is expected of me versus what I want for myself. "Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" he says. "Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tensio.. | pull live life opposites tension | Mitch Albom | |
| 6e05e7b | A wrestling match.. Yes, you could describe life that way." So which side wins, I ask? He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth. "Love wins. Love always wins." | tug-of-war wrestle live life love win | Mitch Albom | |
| 92909c1 | Sully did this now, finished unfinished sentence, believing that the words people do not speak are louder than the ones they do | Mitch Albom | ||
| 3119240 | He draped himself in her sad memory, because it was the closest thing to having her around. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 81260b2 | Katherine would later reason that if anything were going to take away her beautiful, funny, precious older sister, it would be that her heart was so big, it exploded. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 7a0b501 | But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time. | Mitch Albom | ||
| ba93377 | Once you learn how to die, you learn how to survive. | Mitch Albom | ||
| e0a4fc2 | Without love, we are birds with broken wings. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 17c6232 | Have you ever lost someone you love and wanted one more conversation, one more chance to make up for the time when you thought they would be here forever? If so, then you know you can go your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back. What if you got it back? | Mitch Albom | ||
| 68dd477 | But I can sit here with my dwindling days and look at what I think is important in life. I have both the time - and the reason - to do that. | ill time reason life important think end dying | Mitch Albom | |
| 58eb6d2 | Why is it so hard to think about dying? "Because," Morrie continued, "most of us all 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." | Mitch Albom | ||

| 2f64225 | These were people so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. They were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works. You can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship. Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness | Mitch Albom | ||
| 33dac8f | Before I came to you," he said, "you came to me." Sarah studied his face. "You don't really fix clocks, do you?" "I prefer them broken." "Why is that?" Victor said. Dor looked at the grain of sand in his fingers. "Because I am the sinner who created them." | Mitch Albom | ||
| a0fffe5 | Because, from the beginning , God said, 'I'm gonna put this world into your hands. If I run everything, then that's not you.' So we were created with a piece of divinity inside us, but with this thing called free will, and I think God watches us everyday, lovingly, praying we will make the right choices. | spiritual-growth | Mitch Albom | |

| 8d352b6 | So often, we push away the voices closest to us. But once they're gone, we reach for them. | Mitch Albom | ||
| d4957ca | You can be a mama's boy or and a Daddy's boy,but you can't be both. So you cling to the you you think you might lose. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 2284eae | I thought about how often this was needed in everyday life. How we feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don't let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don't say anything because we're frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship. Morrie's approach was exactly the opposite. Turn on the faucet. Wash yourself with the emotion. It won't .. | Mitch Albom |
