“Every time we focus on someone else's darkness, we are blocking our own view of the light. We think the person we are involved with has attacked us or has withheld love from us, when they really haven't. We focus on their guilt instead of their innocence. Frequently people are just being themselves and we start projecting our own childhood dramas onto them, pushing away the very love we want so much.” PeopleThinkingWantPersonsLightViewsDarknessFocusChildhoodHavensInvolvedDramaGuiltBlockInnocencePushingJust BeingPushing Away Author:Marianne Williamson

“Most of us tend to view childhood as a time of carefree pleasure. Those of us who have looked at the real condition of children in America, however, see a very different picture-one in which children are victims of terrible discrimination, prejudice, and abuse. They need protection. But the protection they need most is to have the protection of civil rights, so that they can be regarded as full persons under the law.” NeedsChildrenPersonsDifferentRealAmericaLawPleasureViewsRightsChildhoodConditionsTerribleAbusePrejudiceVictimProtectionDiscriminationCivil RightsCarefree Author:Richard Farson
“I wanted to go higher than Rockefeller Center, which was being erected across the street from Saks Fifth Avenue and was going to cut off my view of the sky. . . . Flying got into my soul instantly but the answer as to why must be found somewhere back in the mystic maze of my birth and childhood and the circumstances of my earlier life. Whatever I am is elemental and the beginnings of it all have their roots in Sawdust Road. I might have been born in a hovel, but I determined to travel with the wind and stars.” Has BeensSoulMightWantedFoundStarsBornAnswersViewsCuttingSkyStreetsChildhoodWindBirthHigherCircumstancesRootsDeterminedFlyingFlightMy SoulAviationMight Have BeenFifthAvenuesMysticMazesGreat AviationElementalsSawdustFifth AvenueRockefeller Center Author:Jacqueline Cochran
