Meaning doesn't lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren't love - the money, the car, the house, the prestige - we are loving things that can't love us back.

(A Return to Love) β¨ Marianne Williamson (1992). A return to love: reflections on the principles of A course in miracles
