Quote

The issue is that we, with our fears, our attacks, our judgments, our blame, and our constant emphasis on the realm of the body rather than the realm of love, eclipse the experience of true love.

The power to rethink a situation is our greatest tool for transforming the world. This notion is taking hold in medicine, in business, in education. But not in politics and the media. They are the last holdouts of old-paradigm thinking.

We love purely when we release other people to be who they are.

Image
From a pure metaphysical perspective, there is no world outside ourselves. So, at the deepest level, the state of the planet is more a reflection of the consciousness of mankind than the consciousness of mankind is a reflection of world events.

Romance is one of the sacred temples that dot the landscape of life.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

My hope is that I'm getting better and wiser. With every book, I have more of myself to pour onto the page.

There's only one of us here: What we give to others, we give to ourselves. What we withhold from others, we withhold from ourselves. In any moment, when we choose fear instead of love, we deny ourselves the experience of Paradise.

You don't want to try to protect yourself from the pain of a crisis. You want to learn everything you can from it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is, inside all our heads, the ego’s rabid attack dog. It is purely vicious toward others and toward ourselves as well. Learning to control that dog, and ultimately to end its life, is the process and purpose of enlightened relationships.

The one good thing about failure is that it makes you consider doing things a different way.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Imagine everything you're experiencing now being a hundred times more wonderful. Bad turns good good turns great. THAT IS WHAT IS POSSIBLE.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet.

If you want to end darkness you cannot beat it with a baseball bat, you have to turn on a light.

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is simply too much unnecessary suffering in our world. And we should see that as a national security risk, by the way. Given enough time, desperate people will tend to do desperate things. At a certain point you won't be able to build enough prisons or enough bombs to eradicate the effects of all that violence inside so many hearts.

America is a great country, and we've done a lot of good in the world. But we are a collection of people, not saints. We have our own sins to atone for.
