More quotes by Mitch Albom
We do not realize the sound the world makes -- unless, of course, it comes to a stop. Then, when it starts, it sounds like an orchestra.
Mitch Albom
Sharing tales of those we've lost is how we keep from really losing them.
Mitch Albom
We need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.
Mitch Albom
You can't get stuck on what should have happened. That doesn't help you.
Mitch Albom
The truth is, when our mothers held us, rocked us, stroked our heads -none of us ever got enough of that. We all yearn in some way to return to those days when we were completely taken care of - unconditional love, unconditional attention. Most of us didn't get enough.
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
Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners.
Mitch Albom
Young men go to war. Sometimes because they have to, sometimes because they want to. Always, they feel they are supposed to. This comes from the sad, layered stories of life, which over the centuries have seen courage confused with picking up arms, and cowardice confused with laying them down.
Mitch Albom
My own father didn't talk a lot about feelings or emotions.
Mitch Albom
Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do somehing else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
Mitch Albom
Secrets tear you apart.
Mitch Albom
All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.
Mitch Albom
People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does...And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture.
Mitch Albom
Shouldn't the world stop? Don't they know what has happened to me?
Mitch Albom
A memoir should have some uplifting quality, inspiring or illuminating, and that's what separates a life story that can influence other people.
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
You have to start over. That's what they say. But life is not a board game, and losing a loved one is never really starting over. More like continuing without.
Mitch Albom
This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun.
Mitch Albom
Silence is worse when you know it won't be broken.
Mitch Albom
Soon man will count all his days, and then smaller segments of the day, and then smaller still—until the counting consumes him, and the wonder of the world he has been given is lost.
