Some Tweets from Marianne Williamson


  • Completely, horribly, almost unbelievably true. Many people who are very savvy about abusers and sociopaths when it comes to their personal lives, seem to have a blind spot when abusers or sociopaths are acting as institutions or on a large public stage.
  • Years ago I attended a service w/ a Catholic priest who had Catholics apologize to non-Catholics for historical wrongs committed by the Church. I found it very moving & have been proud to do something similar regarding blacks & Native Americans in America. Nothing silly about it.
  • The American revolution is an ongoing state of consciousness, a rambunctiousness that every generation needs to embody in the face in any threat to the idea that 1) all of us are equal 2) all of us are free to pursue happiness here & 3) govt. exists to secure our right to do so.
  • Hey guys! Win a trip to Detroit to come to the debates!
  • Heard this once: “Ms. Williamson, you’re an aging hippie. Your generation was just sex, drugs and rock n roll.” My response: “Uh, that was just PART of the day. The rest of the day we stopped a war!!! ...Et tu?”
  • There’s so much money to be made off people who are sick. There’s so much money to be made off people being at war. There’s so much money to be made keeping people so desperate that they’ll work for cheap. Will our generation rise up and say “No more?”
  • Big shock. The new Labor Secretary nominee is anti-labor.
  • Twelve million meals and counting. Today I remember a lot of friends, no longer with us, who worked so hard to get it all started. Project Angel Food stands in constant honor of their memory.
  • “There’s you, and then there’s an image people have of you. They’re not always the same entity.” Getting real with the Hollywood Reporter...
  •   Retweeted

  • The Declaration of Independence is America’s mission statement; part of our problem is that our generation has failed to emotionally and psychologically bond with it. Its principles are dead if they’re not alive in our hearts. Read it and reread it. It will change you.
  • Important we consider that question because it’s not the way we function now. Much govt policy does NOT respect the equality of all & does NOT support everyone’s pursuit of happiness. According to Dec of Ind, if govt fails to do its job it’s the right of the people to alter it.
  • The US is having an identity crisis, our generation forced to decide: will we or will we not choose to stand on the principles bequeathed to us: the equality of all; God-given inalienable rights to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness; & govt. existing to secure those rights.
