We are dominated on this planet by a fear-based rather than a love-based thought system. Enlightenment involves relinquishing the thought system based on fear and instead accepting a thought system based on love.
Marianne WilliamsonIf we do not like what we see in the world, we must face what we don't like in ourselves. As we change, the world will change with us.
Marianne WilliamsonThe bottom line in love is not whether someone loves you, but whether someone chooses you.
Marianne WilliamsonThere is a current mythology in our culture that anytime we meet someone and have that "enchanted evening" experience, that experience of looking into the eyes of the other and falling hopelessly in love - that this is nothing more than a delusion; a mutual projection, a fantasy that will only last until reality sets in.
Marianne WilliamsonThe people who have achieved more than you, in any area, are only a half step ahead of you in time. Bless them and praise their gifts, and bless and praise your own. The world would be less rich without their contributions, and it would be less rich without yours. There's more than room for everyone; in fact, there's a need for everyone.
