Image
I use the word inquiry as synonymous with The Work...Inquiry is a way to end confusion and to experience internal peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. Above all else, inquiry is about realizing that all the answers we ever need are always available inside us.
Byron Katie
Image
I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.
Byron Katie
Image
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
Image
Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
It is not your business to love me. It is mine.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie

The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
Byron Katie
Image
You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
Byron Katie
Image
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.
Byron Katie
Image
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
I think our children are afraid to die because we're afraid to die.
Byron Katie
Image
I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
No one can hurt me - that's my job.
