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.

More quotes by Mitch Albom
Strangers are family you haven't recognize yet
Mitch Albom
This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.
Mitch Albom
Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.
Mitch Albom
I also believe that parents, if they love you, will hold you up safely, above their swirling waters, and sometimes that means you'll never know what they endured, and you may treat them unkindly, in a way you otherwise wouldn't.
Mitch Albom
One day can bend your life.
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
You can be a mama's boy, be a daddy's boy, but you can't be both. So you cling to the one you think you might lose.
Mitch Albom
Please, please, please, please, please...,, squeezing his eyes shut because it somehow made the words more pure.
Mitch Albom
If you really could fit God in a file, you wouldn't need to believe in God, you know, you'd just go get the file like a box of corn flakes off the shelf.
Mitch Albom
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others.
Mitch Albom
We cannot stop what Heaven chooses.
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
If you could pack for heaven, this was how you'd do it, touching everything, taking nothing.
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
But hurting ourselves to inflict pain on others is just another cry to be loved.
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
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
Going back to something is harder than you think.
Mitch Albom
You can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.
Mitch Albom
Never tell a child that something it's too hard
