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
Timing is everything. That´s right. Which is why our sages tell us to repent exactly one day before we die. But how do you know it´s the day before you die? I asked. He raised his eyebrows. Exactly

Mitch Albom
The truth is, there is no line. There's only your life, how you mess it up, and who is there to save you. Or who isn't.
Mitch Albom
I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'
Mitch Albom
Shouldn't the world stop? Don't they know what has happened to me?
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
All that happens when your dreams come true is a slow, melting realization that it wasn't what you thought.
Mitch Albom
It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody’s out there.
Mitch Albom
When we are most alone is when we embrace another's loneliness.
Mitch Albom
Chicago keeps getting all these complete games. Im expecting 50 cent hot dogs.

I never hear anything about education. Education - I guess it's just not sexy enough. And everybody claims to love their children and our children are the most important thing, but if that's the case, how come we never hear more about education as an election issue?
