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.

More quotes by Mitch Albom
You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Unfulfilled lives. Lives that haven't found meaning . Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. You can't wait until sixty-five.
Mitch Albom
He did not know that the child who had asked for yesterday was now seeking to own tomorrow.
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
At that moment i felt lonelier than i'd ever felt before, and that loneliness seemed to squat in my lungs and crush all but my most minimal breathing. There was nothing left to say. Not about this. Not about anything.
Mitch Albom
I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'

Life goes quickly, doesn't it?

Tears are okay [Morrie Schwartz]
Mitch Albom
the pain we suffer is a way to make us appreciate what comes next.
Mitch Albom
A man who can take anything will find most things unsatisfying. And a man without memories is just a shell.
Mitch Albom
I never hear anything about education. Education - I guess it's just not sexy enough. And everybody claims to love their children and our children are the most important thing, but if that's the case, how come we never hear more about education as an election issue?
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
I like myself better when I'm with you.
Mitch Albom
Scenery without solace is meaningless.
Mitch Albom
Are you seeing anyone romantically? he inquired. No, I'm not, she replied. Good. Please keep it that way. Because I intend to ask you to marry me.
Mitch Albom
Having more does not keep you from wanting more. And if you always want more - to be richer, more beautiful, more well known - you are missing the bigger picture, and I can tell you from experience, happiness will never come
Mitch Albom
There is no formula to relationships.
Mitch Albom
You're not a wave, you're a part of the ocean.
Mitch Albom
What you have done to this point cannot be undone. What you do next... It is still unwritten.
Mitch Albom
Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive.
Mitch Albom
Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.
