More quotes by Mitch Albom
Silence was his escape, but silence is rarely a refuge.
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
I lived, Dor said, but I was not alive.
Mitch Albom
Sacrifice is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret. It’s something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices. A mother works so her son can go to school. A daughter moves home to take care of her sick father.
Mitch Albom
You marked the minutes, the old man said. But did you use them wisely? To be still? To cherish? To be grateful? To lift and be lifted?
Mitch Albom
Life is a series of pulls back and forth... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match...Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins
Mitch Albom
We need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.
Mitch Albom
Your voice will come. We all go through the same thing. You cannot talk when you first arrive. He smiled. It helps you listen.
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
Whenever you have two characters in a book, whether it's a novel or nonfiction, you run the risk that the reader is going to like one more than the other. They're going to read one chapter and say, 'I can't wait to get back to the other guy.
Mitch Albom
sometimes what you miss the most is the way a loved one made you feel about yourself.
Mitch Albom
Never tell a child that something it's too hard
Mitch Albom
Strangers are family you haven't recognize yet
Mitch Albom
Now you know how badly someone wanted you, Charley. Children forget that sometimes. They think of themselves as a burden instead of a wish granted.
Mitch Albom
There are many things in my life that I wish I could take back. Many moments I would recast.
Mitch Albom
I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it.
Mitch Albom
I think, in general, the sports I've enjoyed covering the most have been the offbeat ones. The more popular, mainstream, the less I like them because they're more, they're more structured and the players don't have much interesting to say because they're interviewed all the time.
Mitch Albom
You have peace, the old woman said, when you make it with yourself.
Mitch Albom
In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.
Mitch Albom
Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do. Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it. Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others. Don't assume that it's too late to get involved.
