| c3d9238 | I also believe that parents, if they love you, will hold you up safely, above their swirling waters, and sometimes that means you'll never know what they endured, and you may treat them unkindly, in a way you otherwise wouldn't. | parents | Mitch Albom | |
| 6ef94fc | For my disciples, the map is simple. All lonely roads lead back to music. I embrace you. I forgive you. I will never leave you. Can humans say the same? | Mitch Albom | ||
| fcf0e09 | Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away.

| a0583d5 | You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel.

| 6948b6e | We've got a form of brainwashing going on in our country," Morrie sighed. "Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over.

We repeat it-and have it repeated to us-over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is to fogged u.. | reality perspective | Mitch Albom | |

| b03511a | If you hold back on the emotions - if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them - you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, ,all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. you know what .. | Mitch Albom | ||

| 62f780c | Campbell was an ordinary-looking man, but he was extravagantly costumed in a uniform of his own design.

| 9df4eb8 | Era gente spregevole, quella di Sodoma e Gomorra, come tutti sanno. Il mondo stava meglio senza di loro. E alla moglie di Lot, naturalmente, fu detto di non voltarsi indietro a guardare il luogo dove prima c'era tutta quella gente con le sue case.
