More quotes by Marianne Williamson
I feel that if your soul was branded by the sixties, you never lost the brand. It's like going into a nightclub and having your hand stamped so that you don't have to come back but you can come back.
Marianne Williamson
The spiritual journey, the path of recovery and personal growth, is a detoxification process in which we bring up and out the negative beliefs we have carried with us from the past and that now poison the present.
Marianne Williamson
The universe is an infinite opportunity creation machine. In every instant, the possibility of greater possibility is programmed into the nature of things. Love creates the conduit through which new possibility enters our experience, and lovelessness keeps it at bay.
Marianne Williamson
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.
Marianne Williamson
Sometimes you are lifted up to the mountaintop as a gift from the universe, so you can see what is possible. Then you are put down back at the bottom: Now you have to earn it for yourself.
Marianne Williamson
Any time we read a newspaper or take any look at the world around us, we are aware of the cruelty and violence that dominates our world.
Marianne Williamson
My biggest sorrow, when looking back on my youth, is how much of it I somehow missed. Now, looking at my life today, I don't want to make the same mistake. I don't want to miss this. As Bonnie Raitt sang like she was singing it for all of us, Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.
Marianne Williamson
By the time something reaches the cover of Time magazine, it's old news anyway.
Marianne Williamson
The desire for transcendence is intimately connected with the desire for creativity. It is just as essential to who and what we are.
Marianne Williamson
Newtonian physics is over. You don't act on the world to change the world. You realize the world is a projection of your inner self. If you change, the world changes.
Marianne Williamson
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
Marianne Williamson
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Marianne Williamson
Think of one person who you are tempted for any reason to withhold love from, and pray for their happiness. In that moment your pain will stop.
Marianne Williamson
The more we allow ourselves to enjoy, the more reasons we find to be joyful.
Marianne Williamson
There is an emergent enlightenment appearing today, unique to no particular culture or ethnicity. Anyone who chooses to be, is its conduit.
Marianne Williamson
Making our goal anything other than peace is emotionally self-destructive.
Marianne Williamson
What a Beethoven, Shakespeare or Picasso has done is not create something, so much as they have accessed that place within themselves from which they could express that which has been created by God.
Marianne Williamson
God isn't a noun but a process...a continual, infinitely creative outpouring of love and light onto all living things.
Marianne Williamson
Behind every fear, there is a miracle waiting.
Marianne Williamson
The bottom line in love is not whether someone loves you, but whether someone chooses you.
Marianne Williamson
