This was an interesting book. At times I was so bored with it and yet I wanted to know where the author was going so I also couldn't put it down. It would make for a great book club book -- themes to discuss age, maturity, abuse, power, strategy, i...more |

“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.”
― Mark Twain
― Mark Twain
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
