Quote

There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like.

I lived, Dor said, but I was not alive.
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’.

All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.

Image
We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.
Mitch Albom
Image
No matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be.
Mitch Albom
Image
Well, for one thing, the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own. Most people can't do it.
Mitch Albom
Image
Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralysing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.
Mitch Albom
Image
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
Image
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
Image
No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we're alone.
Mitch Albom
Image
You have to start over. That's what they say. But life is not a board game, and losing a loved one is never really starting over. More like continuing without.

But fates are connected in ways we don’t understand.
