Enlightenment is the key to everything, and it is the key to intimacy, because it is the goal of true authenticity.

Marianne WilliamsonFear is not life-giving enough to sustain itself. We can move in the direction of fear only so long before it brings us to our knees, or to our end.

Have faith in love, and fear will lose its power over you. Have faith in forgiveness, and your self-hatred will fall away. Have faith in miracles, and they will come to you.
