Mitch Albom
Being unheard is the ground floor of giving up.
Mitch Albom
When hope is gone, time is punishment.
Mitch Albom
You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute.
Mitch Albom
Once heaven is done with grandma, we'd like her back, thanks.
Mitch Albom
Kids chase the love that eludes them, and for me, that was my father's love. He kept it tucked away, like papers in a briefcase. And I kept trying to get in there.
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
Shouldn't the world stop? Don't they know what has happened to me?
Mitch Albom
