"We say to others only what we need to hear"

--

Byron Katie

“Your mind is software. Program it. Your body is a shell. Change it. Death is a disease. Cure it. Extinction is approaching. Fight it.”
“In my spare time I like watching TV, laying on the couch, just chillin'.”
“The shreiking fight or the out-of-character insult endures forever, while the daily sweetness dissolves like sugar in water.”
“It's okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn't give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because you don't like what they are saying. Learn to recognize good writing when you read it, even if it means overcoming your pride and opening your mind beyond what is comfortable.”
“I get up around 6:30. I work from about 8:00 to 1:00, take a break for lunch, work again until about 5:00, and then go for a long walk and have dinner. Then, if my wife and I have no previous plans, we decide what to do for the evening.”
“I often look at a lot of Doctor Who stuff that's about now, which no one has approached me about.”
“You went up to be examined with the other Jewish children, your heart heavy about that matter of your nose.”
“You learn history in school, and you have a reverential feeling toward it. But by being irreverent, it feels current.”
