| 9f62a0c | Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine?

| 4ec8ad4 | Eddie thought about the years that followed his father's funeral. How he never achieved anything, how he never went anywhere. For all that time, Eddie had imagined a certain life--a "could have been" life--that would have been his if not for his father's death and his mother's subsequent collapse. Over the years, he glorified that imaginary life and held his father accountable for all of its losses: the loss of freedom, the loss of career, .. | Mitch Albom | ||
| e5f7cb4 | All younger people should know something. If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow. | Mitch Albom | ||

| 8378db6 | When my mother entered, wearing her nurse's outfit, her arms full of magazines, we must have said, "Hi Mom" too quickly, because she immediately became suspicious. You can see that in your mother's face right away, that "What did you kids do?" look." | Mitch Albom | ||
| 331ee26 | People say they "find" love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a love. And Eddie found a certain love with Marguerite, a grateful love, a deep but quiet love, one that he knew, above all else, was irreplaceable." | Mitch Albom | ||

| cf6cd08 | Do what the Buddhists do. Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks. "Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?" | Mitch Albom | ||
| fe2f0d5 | And while she didn't know it then, she was learning another truth about love: it comes when it comes. Simple as that. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 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. The moments that used to define them-a mother's approval, a fathers nod-are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath t.. | Mitch Albom | ||

| a0583d5 | You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too-even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling. | trust | Mitch Albom | |

| 3d48c8f | For me, Ted, living means I can be responsive to the other person. It means I can show my emotions and my feelings. Talk to them. Feel with them ... | Mitch Albom | ||
| 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. And that's what we do in this country. Owning tings is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. More is good. More is good. 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.. | perspective reality | Mitch Albom | |

| b211fe6 | don't mean you disregard every rule of your community. I don't go around naked, for example. I don't run through red lights. The little things, I can obey.

| 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. He wore a white ten-gallon hat and black cowboy boots decorated with swastikas and stars. He was sheathed in a blue body stocking which had yellow stripes running from his armpits to his ankles. His shoulder patch was a silhouette of Abraham Lincoln's profile on a field of pale green. He had a broad armband which was red, with a blue swas.. | Kurt Vonnegut Jr. | ||
