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.
