**__Tuesdays with Morrie quote Databank__**
====1 " i feel around my body, i move my fingers and my hands whatever i can still move and i mourn what I've lost. i mourn the slow, insidious way in which I'm dying. but then i stop mourning." (Morrie, 57)====

====-Here I feel Morrie is reflecting on what is going on with himself and is feeling depressed. The way he talks is as if he isnt in his own body. He sort of speaks as though he is observing what is seen.====

2 "the most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."(Morrie, 52)
====-I understand this quote very much because once you give love you expect it in return in a way. It doesnt work that way. you must be calm, patient and let the love come to you. It will come but slowly. if your lucky enough to have it now then cherish it. Love is hard to find, especially love that goes two ways.====


====3 " now that I'm suffering, i feel closer to people who suffer that i ever did before. the other night, on T.V, i saw people in Bosnia running across the street, getting fired upon, killed, innocent victims and i just started to cry. i feel their anguish as if were my own. i don't know any of these people. but how can i put this? I'm almost drawn to them." (Morrie, 50)==== ====-Here Morrie speaks of the people dying and compares himself to them because he is suffering with a disease and is so depressed that he sees no light at the end of the tunnel and feel like he cannot do anything but sit there.====

====- Here basically its talking about how certain things like the media. For example model's and them being skinny. The media makes it seem as though every woman needs to be skinny, and if they are not then they do not fit in at all.====

====5 "So many people walk around with a meaningless life. they seem half-sleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. the way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." (Morrie, 43"==== ====-Because people act as though the world revolves around themselves, they do not see that that isn't the meaning of life in a way. They do not end up being happy and they are very miserable. If they were to do those things listed above they might make a difference and fix everything.====

Yes. Detaching myself. And this is important - not just for someone like me, who is dying, but for someone like you who is perfectly healthy. Learn to detach." (Morrie,103)
====-Just if your disease or something of the sort, don't keep on sulking and saying you cant do things when anything is possible. For example those who have lost legs still run in the marathon or bike in the marathon. Its a goal of theirs and they damn sure feel better at the end of the day.====

9. "Your afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. Your afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails.
====But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain. you know what love is. you know what gride is and only then can you say, 'All Right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. now i need to detach from that emotion for a moment.' " (Morrie, 104)====

-Here they talk of how to be detached and get on with life and try to do whatever possible.
====10. "I'm an independent person, so my inclination was to fight all of this- being helped from the car, having someone else dress me. I felt a little ashamed, because our culture tells us we should be ashamed if we can't wipe out own behind. But then I figured, Forget what the culture says. I have ignored the culture much of my life. I am not going to be ashamed. Whats the big deal?" (Morrie, 116)====

I chose the topic about "**Is religion necessary?**"
====there are many religions on the world. Many people believe in one God while others believe in more then one. Some religions have been change toward what the government say. The government have change the bible or what ever written believe have been to make people follow the others.'====
