Kyōichi Katayama
“It's really easy for us to miss each other in this big, big world... People I've met after a long time of looking; my important people.”
Kyōichi Katayama, Socrates In Love

Mitch Albom
“People think of heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. But scenery without solace is meaningless. - 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.”
Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Mitch Albom
“When you are an outcast, even a tossed stone can be cherished.”
Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Mitch Albom
“I have come to teach you 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 a breeze from the wind. ... Did you ever wonder? Why people gather when others die? Why people feel that they should?
It is because the human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between taken and being missed, lives are changed. ...there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole. ...
The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.”
Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Kyōichi Katayama
“He seemed to be absorbed by what he’d just said. Then he turned to me and asked, “What do you think beauty really is?"

"Pass," I said curtly.

"There are things that come true in life, and things that don’t," he said. “The things that actually happen, people forget about them right away. But the things that never come true stay in our hearts forever. Dreams and… longings. I think it’s our feelings for these that sustain the beauty of life. All the things that didn’t happen ~have~ come true, as beauty.”
Kyōichi Katayama, Socrates In Love
