More quotes by Byron Katie

Image
It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.
Byron Katie
Image
I know that even at moments of apparent danger, nothing is out of order or lacking, other than our own unquestioned thoughts about those moments.
Byron Katie
Image
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
I am the perpetrator of my suffering - but only all of it.
Byron Katie
Image
As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing out there is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.

It is not your business to love me. It is mine.
Byron Katie
Image
The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
Byron Katie
Image
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
Byron Katie
Image
Low self-esteem is not possible when you understand the nature of everything. Depression is not possible. The universe is absolutely friendly.
Byron Katie
Image
Any thought of discomfort or stress is an alarm that lets you know you're believing an untrue thought
Byron Katie
Image
When I turn the thought around - the thought that war, let's say war in Iraq, should stop - the turnaround is the war in myself should stop.
Byron Katie
Image
Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.
Byron Katie
Image
War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.
Byron Katie
Image
Eating, drinking, and depression disorders are really thinking disorders.
Byron Katie
Image
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
Byron Katie
Image
A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You're the one.

Gratitude is what we are without a story.
