More quotes by Mitch Albom
You're not going to get to college - you're not even going to be qualified, even to go to a community college, if you don't address the basic problem of literacy in America. And there's no reason - no reason - for us to have that problem.
Mitch Albom
The truth is, there is no line. There's only your life, how you mess it up, and who is there to save you. Or who isn't.
Mitch Albom
Life has to end, love doesn't.
Mitch Albom
You can know the whole world and still feel lost in it.
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

Mitch Albom
The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn’t the family. If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all. Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, ‘Love each other or perish’.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes, love brings you together even as life keeps you apart.
Mitch Albom
The basis of everything, of all knowledge, is the ability to read.
Mitch Albom
The length of your days does not belong to you.
Mitch Albom
Death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.
Mitch Albom
When you're rotten about yourself, you become rotten to everyone else, even those you love.
Mitch Albom
Sometimes, kids want you to hurt the way they hurt.
Mitch Albom
All that happens when your dreams come true is a slow, melting realization that it wasn't what you thought.
Mitch Albom
Everyone is in such a hurry. People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running. Once you start running, it’s hard to slow yourself down.
