― Mitch Albom , For One More Day
182 " She was like a wound beneath an old bandage, and he had grown more used to the bandage. "
― Mitch Albom
183 " some things you endure for a reason "

184 " I bought this the day before at a shopping mall. I didn't want to forget him. Maybe I didn't want him to forget me. "
― Mitch Albom , Tuesdays with Morrie
185 " For many of us, the curtain has just come down on childhood. "
186 " You see, here's my theory: Kids chase the love that eludes them, and for me, that was my father's love. He kept it tucked away, like papers in a briefcase. And I kept trying to get in there. "
187 " Study me in my slow and patient demise. Watch what happens to me. Learn with me. "
188 " if you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you have different set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.Your values must be alike. And the biggest of those values... the belief in the importance of your marriage. "
189 " Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else. "
― Mitch Albom , The Five People You Meet in Heaven
190 " The teaching goes on "
191 " Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them - a mother's approval, a father's nod - are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives. "
192 " Yet he refused to be depressed. Instead, Morrie had become a lightning rod of ideas. "
193 " Behind all your stories is always your mother's story. Because hers is where yours begin. "
194 " I love you every day,Mom "
195 " But then, I knew so little about my mother over the last decade of her life. I had been too wrapped up in my own drama. "
196 " I thought about how often this was needed in everyday life. How we feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don't let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don't say anything because we're frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship. "
197 " Morrie was in a wheelchair full-time now, getting used to helpers lifting him like a heavy sack from the chair to the bed and the bed to the chair. "
198 " If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely. "
199 " Then he commandeered the floor, shooting back and forth like some hot Latin lover. When he finished, everyone applauded. He could have stayed in that moment forever. "
200 " This is the story of a man named Eddie and it starts at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It may seem strange to start a story with and ending, but all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time. "
