One day can bend your life.

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
It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody’s out there.

Mitch Albom
All I was afraid of is saying good-bye.
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?'
Mitch Albom
It’s not contagious, you know. Death is as natural as life. It’s part of the deal we made.
Mitch Albom
Timing is everything. That´s right. Which is why our sages tell us to repent exactly one day before we die. But how do you know it´s the day before you die? I asked. He raised his eyebrows. Exactly
Mitch Albom
Had he known his death was imminent, he might have gone somewhere else. Instead, he did what we all do. He went about his dull routine as if all the days in the world were still to come. ~pg 4
Mitch Albom
We all know how to be a child.
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.
