"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 frightens us most. We ask oursleves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?" 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 people won't feel insecure around you. 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 all of us. And when 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 prescence automatically liberates others."

    It's awesome. After reading it, I feel that the world is very beautiful, very powerful positive energy and rendering power! Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Akeelah and the Bee quotes

  • Akeelah: I'm naturally inquisitive.

    Dr. Larabee: Yes, which is also sometimes confused with being naturally obnoxious.

  • [last lines]

    Akeelah: You know that feeling where everything feels right? Where you don't have to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, where you feel safe and know you're doing the best you can? There's a word for that, it's called love. L-O-V-E.
