More quotes by Byron Katie
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Byron Katie
I invite everyone to question their thoughts about their children and allow their children to be free. That's when we stop teaching our children fear.
Byron Katie
One morning in February 1986, out of nowhere, I experienced a realization. In an instant, I discovered that when I believed my stressful thoughts, I suffered, but when I questioned them, I didn't suffer.
Byron Katie
The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie

Byron Katie
You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
Byron Katie
When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.
Byron Katie
If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.
Byron Katie
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
