Tuesdays with Morrie - An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson

Definitivamente nao é o meu tipo de livro (quando vi 'Life's Greatest Lesson' no título, já devia ter ficado longe dele). Mas é curtinho e rapidésimo de ler, entao fui até o fim :-)

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." Henry Adams

" -If I worried about being forgotten after I died?
- Well do you?
- I don't think I will be. I've got so many people who have been involved with me in close, intimate ways. And love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone."

" - Do you know what I do? When someone wants to get ahead of me in traffic (...) I would raise my hand (...), as if I was going to make a negative gesture, and then I would wave and smile. Instead of giving them the finger, you let them go, and you smile. You know what? A lot of times they smiled back." (Marcinha, essa parte eu lembrei de ti :-) )

Oi, Angie!!!! Sabe que eu vi o filme mas não me lembro muito da história? Lembro que o Marcelo leu o livro, que ganhou de presente, e gostou. Fiquei com vontade de rever o filme depois da sua indicação! Um grande beijo!
