Quote from Byron Katie:
It’s not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It’s particularly hard when you want them to see things your way.

Byron Katie
You know what I love, sweetheart? The thoughts that used to send us into deep depression—these same thoughts, once understood, send us into laughter.
Susan Jeffers
No one is more unloving than a person who can’t own his or her own love.
Byron Katie
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation—from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
Byron Katie
You might believe that it’s only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
Vernon Howard
All we have to do is to receive what we are given...We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.
Byron Katie
You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.
Byron Katie
I can find only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours and God’s. Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our business. When I think, “You need to get a job, I want you to be happy, you should be on time, you need to take better care of yourself,” I am in your business. When I’m worried about earthquakes, floods, war, or when I will die, I am in God’s business. If I am mentally in your business or in God’s business, the effect is separation.
Byron Katie
Until you can see everything in the world as your friend, your work is not done.
Byron Katie
The Inquiry
1. Is it true?
2. Can I absolutely know that it’s true?
3. How do I react when I think that thought?
4. Who would I be without the thought
and then
Turn it around.
Byron Katie
I am entirely motivated without anger. The truth sets us free, and freedom acts.
Goncourt
Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists…When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
