Each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and... - Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet In Heaven

"There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind..."

"Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive."

"All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time."

"All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair."

"In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it."
