Carolyn Maloney

“You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.”
“Our lives are so short. And our time on this planet is so precious. All we have is each other.”
“Many possible things were impossible before they were possible”
“But the question is to find and rear leaders that are really one with the masses. This can only be accomplished by the masses, the political parties and the Trade Unions, by means of the most severe struggle, also inwardly.”
“For me being depressed means you can spend all day in bed, and still not get a good night's rest.”
“While the earnings of a minority are growing exponentially, so too is the gap separating the majority from the prosperity enjoyed by those happy few. This imbalance is the result of ideologies which defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation. Consequently, they reject the right of states, charged with vigilance for the common good, to exercise any form of control.”
“I just feel that if somebody happened to fancy somebody else, well, then, I should be a friend that he can say it to.”
“I don't watch my own films very often. I become so jittery and ready to cry... and miserable. I think it's awful.”
