There is everything you know and there is everything that happens. When the two do not line up, you make a choice.

More quotes by Mitch Albom
But they wanted you. Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes you have to do things when sad things happen.
Mitch Albom
Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Don't wait.
Mitch Albom
You count the hours you could have spent with your mother. It's a lifetime in itself.
Mitch Albom
The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn’t the family. If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all. Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, ‘Love each other or perish’.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes, they say, the moon is so busy with the new souls of the world that it disappears from the sky. That is why we have moonless nights. But in the end, the moon always returns, as do we all.
Mitch Albom
The backside of a mountain is a fight against human nature. You have to care as much about yourself on the way down as you did on the way up.
Mitch Albom
I like myself better when I'm with you.
Mitch Albom
We're Tuesday people.
Mitch Albom
He never spoke of that night again, not to your mother, not to anyone else. He was ashamed for her, for Mickey, for himself. In the hospital, he stopped speaking altogether. Silence was his escape, but silence is rarely a refuge. His thoughts still haunted him.' ~pg 139
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
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.

Death: the only true emotion felt in an apathetic world
Mitch Albom
I think, in general, the sports I've enjoyed covering the most have been the offbeat ones. The more popular, mainstream, the less I like them because they're more, they're more structured and the players don't have much interesting to say because they're interviewed all the time.
Mitch Albom
Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.
Mitch Albom
Happiness in a tablet. This is our world. Prozac. Daxil. Xanax. Billions are spent to advertise such drugs. And billions are spent purchasing them. You don't even need a specific trauma, just 'general depression' is enough, or anxiety, as if sadness is as treatable as the common cold.
Mitch Albom
the pain we suffer is a way to make us appreciate what comes next.
Mitch Albom
But man invents nothing God did not create first.
Mitch Albom
Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do. Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it. Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others. Don't assume that it's too late to get involved.
Mitch Albom
I had a very high-grade publisher tell me I was incapable of writing a memoir.
