You can't get stuck on what should have happened. That doesn't help you.
Mitch Albom
One day spent with someone you love can change everything.
Mitch Albom
Giving to other people makes me feel alive. Not my car or my house. Not what I look like in the mirror. When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad.
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom

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.
Mitch Albom
I lived, Dor said, but I was not alive.
Mitch Albom
Much of what we called depression was really dissatisfaction, a result of setting a bar impossibly high or expecting treasures we weren't willing to work for.
Mitch Albom
What if I lose you? You can't lose your mother, Charley.
Mitch Albom
The truth is, when our mothers held us, rocked us, stroked our heads -none of us ever got enough of that. We all yearn in some way to return to those days when we were completely taken care of - unconditional love, unconditional attention. Most of us didn't get enough.
Mitch Albom
There is a time for hello and a time for good-bye. It's why the act of burying thing seems natural, but the act of digging them up does not.
Mitch Albom
Something is always happening somewhere.
Mitch Albom
The length of your days does not belong to you.
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.
