Do I wither up and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left?
Morrie Schwartz
The little things, I can obey. But the big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you.
Morrie Schwartz
Keep your heart open for as long as you can, as wide as you can, for others and especially for yourself.
Morrie Schwartz
You don't understand. You're not a wave. You're part of the ocean.
Morrie Schwartz
We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said. Love is the only rational act.
Morrie Schwartz
