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.

More quotes by Mitch Albom
I give myself a good cry if I need it, but then I concentrate on all good things still in my life.
Mitch Albom
Had he known his death was imminent, he might have gone somewhere else. Instead, he did what we all do. He went about his dull routine as if all the days in the world were still to come. ~pg 4

God sings, we hum along, and there are many melodies, but it's all one song - one same, wonderful, human song.
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
Love- the infatuation kind- 'he's so handsome, she's so beautiful'- that can shrivel. As soon as something goes wrong, that kind of love can fly out the window.
Mitch Albom
Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners.
Mitch Albom
It was sad, the imbalance of it all. Why do kids assume so much from one parent and hold the other to a lower, looser standard?
Mitch Albom
You knew me. You knew that person, but you don't know the person I'm trying to become... You are not your past!
Mitch Albom
Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.
Mitch Albom
Adam hid in the Garden of Eden. Moses tried to substitute his brother. Jonah jumped a boat and was swallowed by a whale...Man likes to run from God. It's a tradition.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes, kids want you to hurt the way they hurt.
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
The length of your days does not belong to you.
Mitch Albom
You're not going to fix things by helping 65-year-olds or 75-year-olds for any long run.
Mitch Albom
For many of us, the curtain had just come down on childhood.
