Frasi di Mitch Albom

pagina 6

“Ogni persona ne influenza un'altra, e questa ne influenza un'altra ancora, e il mondo è pieno di storie, che in realtà sono sempre la stessa.”

“Tutte le persone che incontrerai hanno un insegnamento da darti.”

“Tutti i finali sono anche inizi. Semplicemente non lo sappiamo in quel momento.”

“C'è una tribù nell'Artico americano secondo la quale tutti gli esseri sulla Terra possiedono un'anima che è la forma in miniatura del corpo che la contiene: così che un daino ha dentro di sé un piccolo daino, e un uomo a sua volta un piccolo uomo. Quando l'essere grande muore, sopravvive quello piccolo: può trasmigrare in qualcosa che sta nascendo lì vicino, oppure recarsi a un luogo di sosta temporaneo nel cielo, nella pancia di un grande spirito femminile, dove attende finché la luna non potrà rimandarlo sulla terra. A volte, dicono, la luna ha così tanto da fare con le anime nuove del mondo che scompare dal cielo. Ecco perché abbiamo certe notti senza luna. Ma, alla fine, la luna torna sempre, come noi tutti. Questo è ciò che loro credono.”

“Finché riusciremo ad amarci a vicenda da ricordarci il sentimento d'amore che abbiamo provato, potremo morire senza uscire realmente dal mondo. L'amore che si è creato resta qui. I ricordi sono ancora qui. E tu continui a vivere nei cuori di chi hai nutrito, educato o commosso su questo pianeta.”

“Nessuna vita è sprecata […] L'unico tempo che sprechiamo è quello che trascorriamo a pensare di essere soli.”

“La giustizia […] non governa la vita e la morte. Altrimenti nessuna persona buona morirebbe giovane.”

“A volte quando sacrifichi qualcosa di prezioso, non lo perdi. Lo dai a qualcun altro.”

“the pain we suffer is a way to make us appreciate what comes next.”

“War could bond men like a magnet, but like a magnet it could repel them, too. The things they saw, the things they did. Sometimes they just wanted to forget.”

“Are you seeing anyone romantically?" he inquired.
"No, I'm not," she replied.
"Good. Please keep it that way. Because I intend to ask you to marry me.”

“Miracles happen quietly every day - in an operating room, on a stormy sea, in the sudden appearance of a road side stranger. They are rarely tallied. No one keeps score.”

“the running boy is inside every man, no matter how old he gets.”

“It's the thinking that gets you killed.”

“People often belittle the place where they were born but heaven can be found in the most unlikely places.”

“Sometimes, questions are more hurtful than insults.”

“What is it about childhood that never lets you go, even when you're so wrecked it's hard to believe you ever were a child?”

“the words people do not speak are louder than the ones they do.”

“Belief, hard work, love–you have those things, you can do anything.”

“Now you know how badly someone wanted you, Charley. Children forget that sometimes. They think of themselves as a burden instead of a wish granted.”

“It is no coincidence that the words 'trying' and 'dying' are only a few letters apart.”

“People say they "find" love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find then is a CERTAIN love.”

“when he smiles it's as if you'd just told him the first joke on earth.”

“What's wrong with being number 2?”

“But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begins.”

“When a lost loved one appears before you, it's your brain that fights it, not your heart.”

“Love each other or perish.”

“if you find one true friend in your life, you're richer than most. If that one true friend is your husband, you're blessed."

She paused. "And if that one true friend is your sister, don't feel bad. At least, she can't divorce you.”

“I saw in her expression that old, unshakable mountain of concern. And I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know”

“I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it.”

“You can find something truly important in a minute…”

“There are many things in my life that I wish I could take back. Many moments I would recast.”

“You know what the Buddhists say?
Don't cling to things, because everything is impermanent.”

“No soul remembered is ever really gone.”

“Adam hid in the Garden of Eden. Moses tried to substitute his brother. Jonah jumped a boat and was swallowed by a whale… Man likes to run from God. It's a tradition.”

“The secret is not to make your music louder, but to make the world quieter.”

“Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.”
