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.

More quotes by Mitch Albom
sometimes what you miss the most is the way a loved one made you feel about yourself.
Mitch Albom
A heart weighs more when it splits in two it crashes in the chest like a broken plane.
Mitch Albom
You can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship
Mitch Albom
You can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.
Mitch Albom
There is a big confusion in this country over what we want verses what we need...you need food. You want a chocolate sundae.
Mitch Albom
when your time came, it came, and that was that. You might say something smart on your way out, but you might just as easily say something stupid.
Mitch Albom
Death is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship.
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
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
Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralysing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.
Mitch Albom
I don't use any fance quill pens or pads, because I can't read my own handwriting. I just use whatever computer is laying around, and start writing.
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
I give myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on the good things still in my life. I don't allow myself any more self-pity than that. A little each every morning, a few tears, and that's all.
Mitch Albom
The news of life is carried via telephone. A baby's birth, a couple engaged, a tragic car accident on a late night highway - most milestones of the human journey, good or bad, are foreshadowed by the sound of a ringing.
Mitch Albom
Knowing heaven is what heals us on earth.
Mitch Albom
Time, the Captain said, is not what you think. He sat down next to Eddie. Dying? Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning.
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
Well, for one thing, the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own. Most people can't do it.
Mitch Albom
Life has to end, love doesn't.
