Famous Quotes & Sayings

Marianne Williamson

The self-organizing and self-correcting imprint is on all aspects of reality.

I feel myself always the patriot of all oppressed fatherlands. Nationality is a historic, local fact which, like all real and harmless facts, has the right to claim general acceptance. Every people, like every person, is involuntarily that which it is and therefore has a right to be itself. Nationality is not a principle; it is a legitimate fact, just as individuality is. Every nationality, great or small, has the incontestable right to be itself, to live according to its own nature. This right is simply the corollary of the general principal of freedom.

Marilyn Ferguson

Real progress in understanding nature is rarely incremental. All important advances are sudden intuitions, new principles, new ways of seeing.

Now you are in the true world, and a great deal more is required of you. Here you must befriend real wolves, and lure real birds down from the sky.

My mommy always said there were no monsters - no real ones - but there are.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Where evil men would seek to perpetuate an unjust status quo, good men must seek to bring into being a real order of justice.
