For years I wrote in my basement. More recently I graduated to one floor above, an office with all my books and music and - ta da! - a window.

The manager once called me the 'best freak' in his stable, and, sad as it sounds, I took pride in that. When you are an outcast, even a tossed stone can be cherished.

A man who can take anything will find most things unsatisfying. And a man without memories is just a shell.

But hurting ourselves to inflict pain on others is just another cry to be loved.

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.

Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine?

once we began to chime the hour, we lost the ability to be satisfied

I had a very high-grade publisher tell me I was incapable of writing a memoir.

It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody’s out there.
Mitch Albom
Image
God sings, we hum along, and there are many melodies, but it's all one song - one same, wonderful, human song.

Silence was his escape, but silence is rarely a refuge.

Death is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship.
