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
What you have done to this point cannot be undone. What you do next... It is still unwritten.
Mitch Albom
You count the hours you could have spent with your mother. It's a lifetime in itself.
Mitch Albom
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.
Mitch Albom
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
Sometimes you have to do things when sad things happen.
Mitch Albom
Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.
Mitch Albom
Take one story, viewed from two different angles. It is the same day, the same moment, but one angle ends happily... and the other ends badly.
Mitch Albom
Kids chase the love that eludes them.
