More quotes by Mitch Albom
I don't know what it is about food your mother makes for you, especially when it's something that anyone can make - pancakes, meat loaf, tuna salad - but it carries a certain taste of memory.
Mitch Albom
Everyone is in such a hurry. People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running. Once you start running, it’s hard to slow yourself down.
Mitch Albom
But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.
Mitch Albom
There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.
Mitch Albom
If you could pack for heaven, this was how you'd do it, touching everything, taking nothing.
Mitch Albom
Don't let our outside labels or how fervent we look or zealous we are or how righteous we seem that's not how you measure yourself against other people. Everyone is a child of God if we really believed that, we'd treat each other better.
Mitch Albom
Critics have a problem with sentimentality. Readers do not. I write for readers.
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
You can't get stuck on what should have happened. That doesn't help you.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes, kids want you to hurt the way they hurt.
Mitch Albom
I had a very high-grade publisher tell me I was incapable of writing a memoir.
Mitch Albom
No one gets left behind, remember?
Mitch Albom
Detroit is a place where we've had it pretty tough. But there is a generosity here and a well of kindness that goes deep.
Mitch Albom
So, have we solved the secret of happiness? I believe so, he said Are you going to tell me? Yes.Ready? Ready. Be satisfied. That's it? Be greatful. That's it? For what you have.For the love you receive.And for what God has given you. That's it? He looked me in the eye.Then he sighed deeply. That's it.
Mitch Albom
The dead sit at our tables long after they have gone.
Mitch Albom
She had been so consumed with escaping her own misery, she hadn't considered the misery she might inflict.
Mitch Albom
What is it about childhood that never lets you go, even when you're so wrecked it's hard to believe you ever were a child?
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
The word 'commitment' has lost it's meaning. I'm old enough to remember when it used to be positive. A commited person was someone to be admired. He was loyal and steady. Now a commitment is something you avoid. You don't want to tie yourself down.
Mitch Albom
What you have done to this point cannot be undone. What you do next... It is still unwritten.
Mitch Albom
