Mitch Albom
Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
Mitch Albom
You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
David Mitchell
My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?
David Mitchell
A half-read book is a half-finished love affair.
David Mitchell
The pollenless trees were genomed to repel bugs and birds; the stagnant air reeked of insecticide.
David Mitchell
Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.
David Mitchell
Travel far enough, you meet yourself.
David Mitchell
A random sequence of seemingly unrelated events.
David Mitchell
People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
John Sandford
The nun said, I can forgive the language. I'm not sure I can forgive your making an obscene gesture at your mother. Ya gotta know her, Holland said. If you knew her, you'd give her the finger, too.
David Mitchell
But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.
David Mitchell
Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.
David Mitchell
You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
David Mitchell
There's lying," says Mum, fishing out the envelope she wrote the directions on from her handbag, "which is wrong, and there's creating the right impression, which is necessary.
David Mitchell
I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
David Mitchell
Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.
Mitch Albom
Ain't you supposed to have peace when you die?'You have peace,' the old woman said, 'when you make it with yourself.
David Mitchell
one fine day, a purely predatory world shall consume itself. Yes, the Devil shall take the hindmost until the foremost is the hindmost. In an individual, selfishness uglifies the soul; for the human species, selfishness is extinction. Is
Mitch Albom
But love takes many forms, and it is not the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a certain love.
Mitch Albom
We do not realize the sound the world makes-unless of course, it comes to a stop. Then, when it starts, it sounds like an orchestra.Breaking waves. Whipping wind. Falling rain. Squawking birds. All throughout the universe, time resumed and nature sang.
Mitch Albom
You live on - in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here...Death ends life, not a relationship.
Mitch Albom
People say they find love, as if it were an object hidden under a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a certain love.
David Mitchell
Power is lost or won, never created or destroyed. Power is a visitor to, not a possession of, those it empowers. The mad tend to crave it, many of the sane crave it, but the wise worry about its long-term side effects. Power is crack cocaine for your ego and battery acid for your soul. Power's comings and goings, from host to host, via war, marriage, ballot box, diktat, and accident of birth, are the plot of history. The empowered may serve justice, remodel the Earth, transform lush nations into smoking battlefields, and bring down skyscrapers, but power itself is amoral.
Mitch Albom
Inside all humans is the entirety of your memories, the ones you can access and the ones you cannot.
Jean Sasson
The man who marries a woman for her beauty will be deceived; he who marries a woman for good sense can truly say he is married. - Sultana
Mitch Albom
fairness, he said, does not govern life and death. if it did, no good person would ever die.Strangers, the Blue Man said, are just family you have yet to come to know.sacrifice is a part of life. it is supposed to be. it's not something to regret. it's something to aspire to. little sacrifices. big sacrifices. a mother works so her son can go to school. a daughter moves home to take care of her sick father. Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. you're just passing it on to someone else.
Mitch Albom
You knew me. You knew that person, but you don't know the person I'm trying to become... You are not your past!
David Mitchell
A true suicide is a paced, disciplined certainty. People pontificate, Suicide is selfishness.
Mitch Albom
What's time between a mother and her daughter?Never too much, never enough.
David Mitchell
Nothing has changed, except everything.
David Mitchell
All that way, and he never crossed the bridge.
Mitch Albom
Dor shook his head. The phrase. What does it mean?Sarah wondered if he was kidding. Time flies? You know, like, time goes really fast and suddenly you're saying goodbyeand it's like no time passed at all?His eyes drifted. He liked it. Time flies.With you, she added.
