Marianne Williamson Quotes

I write about emotions - falling in and out of love, finding what you want to do, no matter where you are or who you are. I think that's why people feel connected.

If you have no intention of loving or being loved, the whole journey is pointless.

You can spend your life competing in a world that talks too loud / You can lose your own direction getting lost among the crowd / Confusion - is it any wonder that the road ahead's not clear / Well you can try too hard to find it now I realise it's here

People will always try to find themselves and their place in the world.

Every character is asking: 'What's my place? Why am I here? I don't want the answer to be 'Just because.' You find your own purpose. Each finds the reason to be here and how to contribute.

The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose.

Most of us fall in love with someone's persona and spend the next three to five years discovering who that person really is.

Self-discovery is above all the realization that we are alone: it is the opening of an impalpable, transparent wall - that of our consciousness - between the world and ourselves.

There are a lot of laughs in this movie, but it's not just about the laughs. It's really about the story, about a guy who finds his soul and realizes what's truly important.

You are unique, and if that is not fulfilled, then something has been lost.

I knew that I had to find my own voice, both figuratively and literally.

It took me 30 years to figure out who I really am, as a person, and who I want to surround myself with. I was very much the kind of person who would just meld in with whatever group I was near.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself, 'What makes me come alive?' Because what the world - a wife, a child - needs is men who have come alive.

I'm so fascinated by the human longing for meaning. The way we relate romantically to each other is so much to do with our longing for meaning as well.

I can't tell you what your purpose is, that's got to come from you.

I just like showing people - and this might be at the root of everything that I've done - that I don't want to be looked at as a baseball robot.
