The Five People You Meet in Heaven

"you cannot talk when you first arrive
it helps you listen..."

"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."

"fairness,
does not govern life and death.
if it did,
no good person would ever die young."

"the death doesn't just take someone,

it misses someone else,

and in the small distance between being taken and being missed,

lives are changed."

"strangers,
are just family you have yet come to know"

"sometimes when you sacrifice something precious,

you're not really losing it.

you're just passing it on to someone else."

"sacrifice is a part of life.
it's supposed to be.
it's not something to regret.
it's something to aspire to."

"holding anger is a poison.

it eats you from inside.

we think that hating is a weapon that the person who harmed us.

but hatred is a curved blade.

and the harm we do, we do to ourselves."

"forgive, edward. forgive.
do you remember the lightness you felt when you first arrived in heaven?
that's because no one is borned with anger.
and when we die, the soul is freed of it."

"love, like rain,

can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy.

but sometimes, under the angry heat of life,

love dries on the surface and must be nourished from below,

tending to its roots,

keeping itself alive."

"all endings are also beginnings.

we just don't know it at the time..."

those are my favourites...taken from by Mitch Albom...

this book is by far my favourite novel...it's really touchy...and you can definitely feel the emotions of the story...it reaches your soul...and believe me, you'll get to learn something from the story...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
