We will have gone from men telling us condescendingly to not bother our pretty little heads about important things like politics, to not bothering our pretty little heads without even being told not to!

Marianne WilliamsonIf a train doesnโt stop at your station, itโs simply because itโs not your train. Donโt try to flag down the conductor and convince them to stop there, even if their own map says that they should just keep going.

Marianne WilliamsonBy softening our attitudes, practicing mercy and compassion, we transform our lives by transforming other people's experience of us. Send love before you when you enter a room, and people will subconsciously feel it; they'll be prone to show greater kindness in return. That's how love makes things work better in our lives; it realigns the reactions of people and things around us.
