Mitch Albom Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t know about Heaven or Hell, but I do know that we are visited all the time by the spirits of those who affected us in life Picture Quote #1

I had a very high-grade publisher tell me I was incapable of writing a memoir Picture Quote #1

I’ve always said I have one skill. That skill - if I have it at all - is storytelling Picture Quote #1

If you are fully alive to the prospect of dying, you really start reprioritising your life Picture Quote #1

If you really could fit God in a file, you wouldn’t need to believe in God, you know, you’d just go get the file like a box of corn flakes off the shelf Picture Quote #1

Mortality means you don’t have forever to work things out. You can live your life unexamined but then on the last day you’re going to think: ‘I’ve left things a little late Picture Quote #1

The universe is too grand and harmonious to believe it’s all an accident Picture Quote #1

I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, ‘Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?’ Picture Quote #1

This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for Picture Quote #1

People say they ‘find’ love, as if it were an object hidden by 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. And [he] found a certain love with [her], a grateful love, a deep but quiet love, one that he knew, above all else, was irreplaceable Picture Quote #1

I thought about all the people I knew who spent many of their waking hours feeling sorry for themselves. How useful it would be to put a daily limit on self-pity. Just a few tearful minutes, then on with the day Picture Quote #1

My father moved through theys of we, singing each new leaf out of each tree, (and every child was sure that spring danced when she heard my father sing) Picture Quote #1

We all have same beginning (BIRTH), and we will have same ending (DEATH). So how different can we be? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Love- the infatuation kind- ‘he’s so handsome, she’s so beautiful’- that can shrivel. As soon as something goes wrong, that kind of love can fly out the window Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The years after graduation hardened me into someone quite different from the strutting graduate who left campus that day headed for New York city, ready to offer the world his talent. The world, I discovered. was not all that interested Picture Quote #1

Happiness in a tablet. This is our world. Prozac. Daxil. Xanax. Billions are spent to advertise such drugs. And billions are spent purchasing them. You don’t even need a specific trauma, just ‘general depression’ is enough, or anxiety, as if sadness is as treatable as the common cold Picture Quote #1

Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone Picture Quote #1

Now you know how badly someone wanted you, Charley. Children forget that sometimes. They think of themselves as a burden instead of a wish granted Picture Quote #1

Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, ‘Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be? Is today the day I die? Picture Quote #1

Dor: there is a reason God lmits our days. Victor: why? Dor: to make each one precious Picture Quote #1

Didn’t people call New Year’s the loneliest night on the calender? She took comfort in knowing somewhere on the planet, someone might be as miserable as she was Picture Quote #1

Because one thing God gave us- and I’m afraid it’s at times a little too much- is freewill. Freedom to choose. I believe he gave us everything needed to build a beautiful world, if we choose wisely Picture Quote #1

The news of life is carried via telephone. A baby’s birth, a couple engaged, a tragic car accident on a late night highway - most milestones of the human journey, good or bad, are foreshadowed by the sound of a ringing Picture Quote #1

Miracles happen quietly every day - in an operating room, on a stormy sea, in the sudden appearance of a road side stranger. They are rarely tallied. No one keeps score Picture Quote #1

These were people so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. They were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works. You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship Picture Quote #1

There’s a story behind everything..but behind all your stories is always your mother’s story..because hers is where yours begins Picture Quote #1

If you want to be a good writer, make sure you read. I’m amazed by how many people don’t bother to do that Picture Quote #1
