The Five People You Meet in Heaven.

I recently read this book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom. It's a easy and wonderful book and if you're looking for a new book to read, you should give this one a try.

The title pretty much explains what the book will be about, simply this man dies, and he goes to heaven, where he meets 5 people who will put his life into perspective for him.

Anyways, here were my favorite quotes from the book:

- "It is because the human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed."

- "Fairness does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young."

- "Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to someone else."

- "Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves. "
