Thank you all for your responses but I figured it out. (I just changed the 
rest of them since I had already did it for the beginning of the book) Again 
thanks,

"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 most 
frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, 
talented, fabulous? 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 other people won't feel insecure around you. We are 
all meant to shine, as children do. 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 everyone. And 
as 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 presence 
automatically liberates others."-Mariann  Williamson

We used to have to change M dashes to double hyphens, but the latest I
have heard is that we now leave them alone and that there should be no
space between the M dash and the adjoining words.
