There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
Byron Katie
Image
The teacher you need is the person you're living with.
Byron Katie
Image
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
Image
One morning as I lay sleeping on the floor, a cockroach crawled over my foot. And I opened my eyes out of this dead sleep - about a 43-year sleep - and in place of all that darkness was a joy that I can't describe.
Byron Katie
Image
People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.
Byron Katie
Image
If I think the environment in the world needs to be cleaned up, let me clean up my own environment. Let me clean up the environment in my head - let me work with that pollution and that ecosystem.
Byron Katie
Image
The more you reveal, the more you have to question and the freer you get. Until, finally, you're absolutely exposed. And that leaves you in a fearless position, because you can work in the world without the fear of being found out. That is freedom.
Byron Katie

If someone says, Katie, you are out of order, over something I've said, or, Katie, you are wrong, if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.
Byron Katie
Image
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie

If you want to enter a state of grace, question the assumption you’re defending right now.
Byron Katie
Image
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
Byron Katie
Image
Forgiveness is discovering that what you thought happened, didn’t.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be if you didn't believe this lie?
Byron Katie
Image
When a thought appears such as Do the dishes and you don't do them, notice how an internal war breaks out... The stress and weariness you feel are really mental combat fatigue.
Byron Katie
Image
That's where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
Byron Katie
Image
To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don't know anything finer than that.
Byron Katie
Image
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
