If someone says, "Katie, you are out of order," over something I've said, or, "Katie, you are wrong," if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.

With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.

Fear is blind. There are some options in it, but they're very limited as compared to the options available to the fearless mind.

We don’t attach to things; we attach to our stories about them.

Your suffering is never caused by the person you're blaming.

You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.

Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
