Being unheard is the ground floor of giving up, and giving up is the ground floor of doing yourself in. It’s not so much, what’s the point? It’s more like, what’s the difference?
Mitch Albom
I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
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
What she mostly wanted, he learned, was the same thing many people want--someone to notice she was there.
Mitch Albom
A man who can take anything will find most things unsatisfying. And a man without memories is just a shell.
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
You have to find what’s good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. Looking back makes you competitive. And, age is not a competitive issue.
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
Death is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship.
Mitch Albom
The news of life is carried via telephone. A baby's birth, a couple engaged, a tragic car accident on a late night highway - most milestones of the human journey, good or bad, are foreshadowed by the sound of a ringing.
Mitch Albom
Suddenly, details seemed extremely important. Details were something to grab on to, a way to insert myself into the story.
