Here’s how a child listens: you tell him something, and he puts his own interpretation on what you said. That’s what he hears. No one has ever heard you.

More quotes by 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
No one can give you freedom but you.
Byron Katie
For me, everything is God. Everything and everyone. So it was just, God needs me now, now, now.
Byron Katie
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
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
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.
Byron Katie
When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.
Byron Katie
Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.
Byron Katie
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
Byron Katie
If you knew how important you are, you would fragment into a billion pieces and just be light.
Byron Katie
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
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
So there's only transcendence in the moment. Nobody can be transcended forever. That's why I say, Who cares if you're enlightened forever?
Byron Katie
When you question what you believe, you leave the world, really, and what the world believes. It puts you in a very interesting position.
Byron Katie
The Work: 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true? 3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without the thought?
Byron Katie
Everyone wants peace, inside and outside, and we would all have it if we knew how. Now we know how. It begins with you.
Byron Katie
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Byron Katie
Clarity moves much more efficiently than violence or stress.
Byron Katie
'I don't know' is my favorite position.
