More From Mitch Albom
- "We all lose somebody we care about and want to find some comforting way of dealing with it, something that will give us a little closure, a little peace."
- "I believe the biggest themes of life are put into the best focus when held up against the very sharp light of mortality."
- "I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, ‘Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?’"
More In Experience
- "Not only did I avoid speaking of Salinger; I resisted thinking about him. I did not reread his letters to me. The experience had been too painful."― Joyce Maynard
- "Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice."― Virginia Woolf
- "You want to do something that shows some type individuality and talent and imagination – at the same time, you want to be truthful to the predecessors, because obviously the audience liked something about them and you have to replicate that experience to a certain extent."― Renny Harlin
