I recently wrote about The 5 People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. I liked it so much that I read tuesdays with Morrie and finished it earlier this week. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book.
Always remember...
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
"Most of us all walk around as if we're sleepwalking. We really don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do."
"Love eachother or perish."
"It's very simple. As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it."
"Mitch, it is impossible for the old not to envy the young. But the issue is to accept who you are and revel in that."

From the five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom:
1. "That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate the breeze from the wind...Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know."
2. "Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices."
3. "Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."
4. "Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life has to end, Love doesn't."
5. "...the secret of heaven: that each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one."
