The Five People You Meet in Heaven: Eddie Meets the First Person (quotes and thoughts)

In class, the students selected (and shared) passages from the novel that drew their interest.

The following bits stood out:

  • “no random acts”
  • “most unlikely corners”
  • “it misses someone else”
  • “scenery without solace is meaningless”
  • “all lives intersect””
  • “understanding your life”
  • “all endings are also beginnings”

They’re all thought-provoking. Which one can you relate to? ~~LMMolina
