some quotes

I've recently read Mitch Albom's "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" and I immediately fell in love with it! Not because of any intriguing plot, but because of the reality of life that is reflected in the book, though the plot itself is totally fictional. It is indeed an inspiring book! Here are some quotes which I've found to be really beautiful:

  1. "All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time."
  2. "Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners."
  3. "When you are an outcast, even a tossed stone can be cherished."
  4. "You can no more separately one life from another than you can separately a breeze from the wind."
  5. "Fairness does not govern life and death."
  6. "Death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed."
  7. "One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole."
  8. "Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know."
  9. "The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone."
  10. "Over the centuries we have seen courage confused with picking up arms, and cowardice confused with laying them down"

"The Five People You Meet in Heaven": Highly recommended!
