Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

"Be compassionate ... and take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be a better place."

"This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work."

"Death ends a life, not a relationship."
