More quotes by Mitch Albom
For years I wrote in my basement. More recently I graduated to one floor above, an office with all my books and music and - ta da! - a window.
Mitch Albom
Life is a series of pulls back and forth... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match...Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins
Mitch Albom
Death: the only true emotion felt in an apathetic world
Mitch Albom
Sticking with your family is what makes it a family.
Mitch Albom
We all have two things in common, no matter who we are: We were born and we are going to die.
Mitch Albom
Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralysing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.
Mitch Albom
You can't get stuck on what should have happened. That doesn't help you.
Mitch Albom
The manager once called me the 'best freak' in his stable, and, sad as it sounds, I took pride in that. When you are an outcast, even a tossed stone can be cherished.
Mitch Albom
No matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be.
Mitch Albom
I feel ashamed now that I tried to take my life. It is such a precious thing. I had no one to talk me out of my despair and that was a mistake. You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
Mitch Albom
And in that line now was a whiskered old man, with a linen cap and a crooked nose, who waited in a place called the Stardust Band Shell to share his part of the secret of heaven: that each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.
Mitch Albom
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
Kids chase the love that eludes them, and for me, that was my father's love. He kept it tucked away, like papers in a briefcase. And I kept trying to get in there.
Mitch Albom
It's such a shame to waste time. We always think we have so much of it.
Mitch Albom
But you grab a moment, or you let it pass.
Mitch Albom
She was like a wound beneath an old bandage, and he had grown more used to the bandage.
Mitch Albom
I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it.
Mitch Albom
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?
Mitch Albom
For better or for worse, I've watched people die in front of me. I see how they are in the end. And they're not cynical. In the end, they wanna hold somebody's hand. And that's real to me.
Mitch Albom
when your time came, it came, and that was that. You might say something smart on your way out, but you might just as easily say something stupid.
Mitch Albom
