Morrie Schwartz, a retired sociology professor from Brandeis University Mitch Albom Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS)

Oprah Winfrey (Producer) “To be a best-seller for over two years, a story has to really connect with people. And Tuesdays with Morrie resonates with everybody.” “I think we all relate to Mitch. His life is just going by too quickly. And then he was blessed to stop and find his old teacher Morrie. And even though Morrie was dying, he taught us about living.”

The Tenth Tuesday We Talk About Marriage “Well, I feel sorry for your generation,” Morrie said. “In this culture, it’s so important to find a loving relationship with someone because so much of the culture does not give you that. But the poor kids today, either they’re too selfish to take part in a real loving relationship, or they rush into marriage and then six months later, they get divorced. They don’t know what they want in a partner. They don’t know who they are themselves – so how can they know who they’re marrying?”

Love and Marriage “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.

Quotable Quotes from the Movie Morrie: When you know how to die, you know how to live Mitch: So, you were never afraid of getting old? Morrie: Oh, the fear of aging... You know what that reflects, Mitch? Lives that haven't found meaning Morrie: We must love one another, or die. (Quoting his favorite poet W.H. Auden)

Quotable Quotes from the Movie Morrie: Everybody's going to die. Even you. But most people don't believe it. They should have a bird on their shoulder. That's what the Buddhists do. Just imagine a little bird on your shoulder... and every day you say, "Is this the day I'm going to die, little bird? " Huh? Am I ready? Am I leading the life I want to lead? Am I the person that I want to be?" If we accept the fact that we can die at any time, we'd lead our lives differently. So every day you say, "Is this the day?“ If you did have a bird on your shoulder... you wouldn't put off the things closest to your heart.
