Been reading Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and here's some really awesome quotes that challenged my mindset. So here they are! (Esp for the girls and guys who're looking) :]
***

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."
***

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
***

Is there some kind of rule to know if a marriage is going to work?

Morrie smiled. "Things are not that simple, Mitch."

I know.

"Still," he said, "there are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike.

"And the biggest of those values, Mitch?"

Yes?

"Your belief in the importance of your marriage."
