Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Thinking that what you want equals what's best for you is a dead end.
Byron Katie

Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
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
I love being free enough that I can be so intimate with people, and that people are free enough that we can all be intimate with each other!
Byron Katie
Image
I'm not in Iraq. I'm here in California. Have I had an argument with my husband today? Have I been at war with someone in my life today - or with myself? Let me work on that. That way war is ending somewhere in the world.
Byron Katie

The world is perfect. As you question your mind, this becomes more and more obvious. Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed. It can never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
