Death Quote by Mitch Albom
““That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.” Eddie shook his head. “We were throwing a ball. It was my stupidity, running out there like that. Why should you have to die on account of me? It ain’t fair.” The Blue Man held out his hand. “Fairness,” he said, “does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young.””
