Tuesdays with Morrie

by Mitch Albom

It was the most helpless I have ever felt in my life.

“Love wins. Love always wins.”

“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”

“Morrie,” Koppel said, “that was seventy years ago your mother died. The pain still goes on?” “You bet,” Morrie whispered.

“It’s all part of the same problem, Mitch,” Morrie said. “We put our values in the wrong things. And it leads to very disillusioned lives. I think we should talk about that.”

“Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.”

All I was afraid of was saying good-bye.

I don’t know how to say good-bye.
