Mitch Albom
Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.
Alexander McCall Smith
All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.
Alexander McCall Smith
In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.
Alexander McCall Smith
The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}
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
Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
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.
Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
David Mitchell
Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity
Jean Sasson
I have the tendency to be nervous at the sight of trouble looming. As the danger draws near, I become less nervous. When the peril is at hand, I swell with fierceness. As I grapple with my assailant, I am without fear and fight to the finish with little thought of injury.
David Mitchell
But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.
Alexander McCall Smith
Resolution. Musicians know all about that, don't they? Pieces of music seek resolution, have to end on a particular note, or it sounds all wrong. The same applies to our lives. It's exactly the same.
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
Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.
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.
Alexander McCall Smith
Special things have a way of surviving.
Alexander McCall Smith
The previously unloved may find it hard to believe that they are now loved; that is such a miracle, they feel; such a miracle.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Only his dog had been along. Now Winston Niles Rumfoord and his dog Kazak existed as wave phenomena-apparently pulsing in a distorted spiral with its origin in the Sun and its terminal in Betelgeuse.
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.
Alexander McCall Smith
There are so many ways of falling off the high moral ground you've carefully built up for yourself. Moral ground is like that-slippery at the edges.
Alexander McCall Smith
But that's exactly the problem, retorted Isabel. We're all stuck with the same tired and trusted ideas. If we refused to entertain the possibility of something radically different, then we'd never make any progress - ever. We'd still be thinking that the sun revolved round the earth.
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?
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 really don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do."And facing death changes that?"Oh, yes. You strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials.
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.
Alexander McCall Smith
People stuck by others for years and years, in the face of all odds, and it should be relief, not disbelief, that one felt on witnessing it.
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.
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.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
As I drove my spaceship into the chrono-synclastic infundibulum, I was instantly struck by the realization that everything that has ever been will be forever. and everything that will be has existed from time immemorial.
Alexander McCall Smith
The ordinary you, the you that has to go to work every morning, the you that has to run a household, pay bills, do all of those things--that you is somehow changed into an exciting, artistic, fully alive you. That's what Paris does.
Mitch Albom
I believe he died this way on purpose. I believe he wanted no chilling moments, no one to witness his last breath and be haunted by it, the way he had been haunted by his mother's death-notice telegram or by his father's corpse in the city morgue.
Alexander McCall Smith
Sorry about your sausage dog.
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.
