The ultimate and dearest - and, again, only - relationship we have is the relationship we have with our thoughts.
Byron Katie

Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
Byron Katie
Image
Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.
