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 am never unhappy, you can achieve that as well.

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?

A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You're the one.

The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there. And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.

I shouldn't steal in this world.
Byron Katie
Image
I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it. Thoughts are like the wind or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They're not personal, they don't belong to us, they just come and go. When they're met with understanding, they're friends.
Byron Katie
Image
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
Byron Katie
Image
A mind that doesn't question its judgements, makes the world very small and dangerous.
Byron Katie
Image
I live in a state of grace, where I don't have to know.
