Marianne Williamson

Until we have seen someone’s darkness, we don’t really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone’s darkness , we don’t really know what love is.

The choice to follow love through to its completion is the choice to seek completion within ourselves. The point at which we shut down on others is the point at which we shut down on life.

True love is finding your soulmate in your best friend.

I’ve always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.

I thought that true love was a just fairytale but I have it and it’s pretty amazing.

My love rumbles like the sternum of a lion. Be mindful of the beast you stir up.

Oh, we’ll be looking for sunlight, or the headlights, ’til our wide eyes burn blind.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.

Tonight, once more, life sinks its teeth into my heart.

Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe. Love is a lot of things, but ‘safe’ isn’t one of them.

There’s nothing more romantic than getting down in the dirt and plowing through the weeds, brambles, thickets, and dry land of life with someone just as willing by your side.

When I told you I wasn’t in love, I lied.

Thunder only happens when it’s raining; players only love you when they’re playing.

The love we shared is a paper town on a map we drew ourselves, drunk and fucked and needing to be more than we were.

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

I’m a wanderess, I’m a one night stand. Don’t belong to no city, don’t belong to no man.

Provided that he only broke you into pieces, you still have it all, like a pizza in slices, every. bite, delicious. You may not feel whole, but you are no less because of a feeling.
