More quotes by Richard Bach
Heaven isnot a place, and it isnot atime.Heaven isbeing perfect.
Richard Bach
I don't think creativity is mine to maintain. It automatically comes when we declare that I am an expression of life, and life will express itself through me in the most playful and wonderful of ways, if I let it.
Richard Bach
Fail at love, and the other tests don't matter.
Richard Bach
It's like a pulsar inside me. There is this great burst of energy, forcing me to write, and then the star goes quiet for a time, and I think it's gone, but it's gathering energy for another burst. And I seem to be almost unwilling participants in this.
Richard Bach
Then be sure of one thing: The Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have. The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't.
Richard Bach
Respect for sovereignity, for privacy, for total independence. Gentle alliances against loneliness, they were, cool rational love-affairs without the love.
Richard Bach
Life's battles don't always go to the strongest or fastest sooner or later those who win are those who think they can.
Richard Bach
What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.
Richard Bach
Learning is finding out what you already know.
Richard Bach
How much to learn if we could spend one hour, spend twenty minutes, with the us we will become! How much could we say to the us we were.
Richard Bach
Fear not, nor be dismayed at the appearance that is darkness, at the disguise that is evil, at the empty cloak that is death, for you have picked these for your challenges. They are stones on which you choose to whet the keen edge of your spirit.
Richard Bach
There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.
Richard Bach
Mistakes - call them unexpected learning experiences.
Richard Bach
Like most writers, we like to find what we know and pass it along to anyone who cares. When that's done, as soon as we've said the best we can say, there's nothing else about us that's remotely interesting to anybody else, and we go back behind the walls. We can be intimate in books, we can be intimate in talks, but then we need time to be alone.
Richard Bach
You are life, inventing form. No more can you die on sword or years than you can die on doorways through which you walk, one room into another. Every room gives its word for you to speak, every passage its song for you to sing.
Richard Bach
Do you ever have the feeling you're a tourist on earth?
Richard Bach
We design our lives through the power of our choices. We feel most helpless when we've made choices by default, when we haven't designed our lives on our own.
Richard Bach
Why fly? Simple. I'm not happy unless there's some room between me and the ground.
Richard Bach
We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.
Richard Bach
I don't think any of my books tell the reader anything new. But they do remind, in a time that is strident and screeching about the limitations of this world and all the trouble we can get ourselves into.
Richard Bach
