“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Somethings hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle.
Which side wins?
Love wins. Love always wins.”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson

“The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

“The universe was exploding, each particle away from the next, hurtling us into dark and lonely space, eternally tearing us away from each other-- child out of the womb, friend away from friend, moving from each other, each through his own pathway toward the goal-box of solitary death.
But this was the counterweight, the act of binding and holding. As when men to keep from being swept over-board in the storm clutch at each other's hands to resist being torn apart, so our bodies fused a link in the human chain that kept us from being swept into nothing.”
― Daniel Keyes
