Death ends a life, not a relationship.
Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.
Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.
One day spent with someone you love can change everything.
When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.
Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.

You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute.
With endless time, nothing is special. With no loss or sacrifice, we can’t appreciate what we have
When you are measuring life, you are not living it.
It's such a shame to waste time. We always think we have so much of it.
It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody’s out there.
I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.
It’s not contagious, you know. Death is as natural as life. It’s part of the deal we made.

What do people fear most about death? I asked the reb."Fear?" he thought for a moment. 'Well, for one thing, what happens next? Where do we go? Is it what we imagined?"That's big."Yes. But there's something else."What else?He leaned forward."Being forgotten," he whispered.
Much of what we called "depression" was really dissatisfaction, a result of setting a bar impossibly high or expecting treasures we weren't willing to work for.
It is too late." The old man shook his head. "It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be." He smiled. "There is a plan, Dor.
Life is a series of pulls back and forth... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match...Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins
Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to.
Each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.
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...
Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners.
No life is a waste," the Blue Man said. "The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we're alone.

What is false about hope?
People often belittle the place where they were born but heaven can be found in the most unlikely places.
Have you found someone to share your heart with? Are you giving to your community? Are you at peace with yourself? Are you trying to be as human as you can be?
There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like.
We’re gonna make up for that. We’re gonna live a long time together.
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.
Love wins, love always wins.
Sharing tales of those we've lost is how we keep from really losing them.
Man invents nothing God did not create first.
Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.
What was the constant?Movement. Yes. With time there was always movement. The setting sun. The dripping water. Thependulums. The spilling sand. To realize his destiny, such movement had to cease. He had to stop the flowof time completely …
Every life has one true love snapshot.
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.
In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.
Going back to something is harder than you think.
You can go your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back.
But I do know we’re deficient in some way. We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don’t satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.
Jauh lebih menyenangkan merasa bahwa Tuhan mendengarkanmu dan mengatakan tidak, ketimbang merasa tak ada siapa pun yang mendengarkanmu
I took my orders, too. But if i couldn't keep you alive, I thought I could at least keep you together. In the middle of a big war, you go looking for a small idea to believe in. When you find one, you hold it the way a soldier holds his crucifix when he's praying in a foxhole.
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. (pg. 128)

I made such a fool of myself,” she lamented.“Love does not make you a fool.”“He didn’t love me back.”“That does not make you a fool, either.”“Just tell me …” Her voice cracked. “When does it stop hurting?”“Sometimes never.
She put one hand on mine. “When someone is in your heart, they’re never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.
Without love we all like birds with broken wings.
Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.
Ends are for yesterday, not tomorrows.
There is no point in keeping vengeance or stubbornness. These things" -he sighed- "these things I so regret in my life. Pride. Vanity. Why do we do the things we do? Morrie Schwartz

Listen. You should know something. All younger people should know something. If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it will happen again any how.
You have to find what's good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. Looking back makes you competitive. And, age is not a competitive issue. (pg. 120)
Instead, he would make death his final project, the center point of his days. Since everyone was going to die, he could be of great value, right? He could be research. A human textbook. Study me in my slow and patient demise. Watch what happens to me. Learn with me.
Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another.
Hopelessness can be contagious, but hope can be too. And there is no medicine to match it.
Hopeless change be contagious, but hope can be too. And there is no medicine to match it.

There are touches in your life that identify the person making contact, even if your eyes are closed.
You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too-even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.
