I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day. – Mitch Albom
Time is not what you think. Dying? Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning. – Mitch Albom
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 harms we do, we do to ourselves. – Mitch Albom
We all lose somebody we care about and want to find some comforting way of dealing with it, something that will give us a little closure, a little peace. – Mitch Albom
From very early on in my childhood – four, five years old – I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet, because I felt disconnected – I was very tall and skinny, and I didnt look like anybody else, I didnt even look like any member of my family. – Patti Smith
