More quotes by Byron Katie
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
There is no mistake in nature.
Byron Katie
The Work is four questions and a turnaround. The Work is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering and violence in the world. The Work is a very, very simple process. It's for anyone who can answer a question that is willing to. It takes a bit of willingness and an open mind.
Byron Katie
Some of us are returning to sanity, because we're tired of the pain. We're in a hurry. No time to mess around.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie

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
The nightmare always becomes laughter, once it's understood.
Byron Katie
Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?
Byron Katie
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Byron Katie
Who would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else?
Byron Katie
When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done.
Byron Katie
It is not your business to love me. It is mine.
Byron Katie
When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
Byron Katie
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
Byron Katie
