"we're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks -- we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?'" - Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom

"people are funny, ya know? it's like from the moment they meet you they are setting standards for the type of person you should be... without even knowing the type of person that you are. and when you fail to meet these standards they say you aren't the person they knew... and when you fly over the standards they do everything they can to bring you down. . . " -Beckie
"Time is tricky. You have whole months, even years, when nothing changes a speck, when you don't go anywhere or do anything or think one new thought. And then you can get hit with a day or an hour, or half a second, when so much happens its almost like you are born all over again into some brand-new person you for damn sure never expected to meet." - Life is Funny
"'life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. you take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.'" - Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom

"'if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere.'" - Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom

"I can say, 'I am terribly frightened, and fear is terrible and awful, and it makes me uncomfortable, so I won't do that because it's uncomfortable.' Or I could say, 'Get used to being uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable doing something that's risky.' But so what? Do you want to stagnate and just be comfortable?" - Barbara Streisand
