How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give our love, and to let it come in." (8.38)
Here Morrie gives us his secret to success, the principle that orders all the others: We have to love. If we love, we're able to put the right priorities on everything else in life, mainly putting others before ourselves. If you learn to be comfortable with sharing your heart and allowing others to share theirs, you just can't go wrong.
Quote #5
Still, despite their circumstances, Morrie was taught to love and to care. And to learn. Eva would accept nothing less than excellence in school, because she saw education as the only antidote to their poverty. (12.25)
As a child, Morrie's stepmother encourages him to become the man who he eventually does. She teaches him that learning and loving are kind of the same; they can overrule the fact that they're poor and make them better people.
