Byron Katie
“Life is so simple: We walk; we sit; we lie horizontal. That's about it. Everything else is a story about what's going on while we're doing it.”
Byron Katie, Who Would You Be Without Your Story?: Dialogues with Byron Katie

Shunryu Suzuki
“Before we were born we had no feeling; we were one with the universe. This is called “mind-only,” or “essence of mind,” or “big mind.” After we are separated by birth from this oneness, as the water falling from the waterfall is separated by the wind and rocks, then we have feeling. You have difficulty because you have feeling. You attach to the feeling you have without knowing just how this kind of feeling is created. When you do not realize that you are one with the river, or one with the universe, you have fear. Whether it is separated into drops or not, water is water. Our life and death are the same thing. When we realize this fact we have no fear of death anymore, and we have no actual difficulty in our life.”
Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind

“There’s nothing that does not grow light Through habit and familiarity. Putting up with little cares I’ll train myself to bear with great adversity!”
Śāntideva, The Way of the Bodhisattva

Byron Katie
“Because if it hurts, it's your thinking that's hurting you.”
Byron Katie, Who Would You Be Without Your Story?: Dialogues with Byron Katie

“All that I possess and use Is like the fleeting vision of a dream. It fades into the realms of memory, And fading, will be seen no more.”
Śāntideva, The Way of the Bodhisattva
