More quotes by Byron Katie
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie
I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace. If I feel peaceful, they say, why would I bother taking action at all?
Byron Katie
If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.
Byron Katie
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie
Discomfort is the call to set yourself free.
Byron Katie

Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.
Byron Katie
The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
Byron Katie
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
Byron Katie
God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God's intention: It's exactly what is in every moment.
Byron Katie
There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
Byron Katie
War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.
Byron Katie
When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.
