Quote

Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

Image
Never had I understood that I command, with absolute authority, the ship of my life! I decide its mission and rules and discipline, at my word waits every tool and sail, every cannon, the strength of every soul on board. I'm master of a team of passionate skills to sail me through hell's own jaws the second I nod the direction to steer.
Richard Bach

If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.
Richard Bach
Image
Your life is a treasure and you are so much more than you know.
Richard Bach
Image
If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?

I relax my body completely, relax my mind completely, and then imagine myself at a level where anything can happen.

Live enough of what you've always dreamed of doing, and there's no room left for feeling bad.

It took time to learn that the hard thing about writing is to let the story write itself, while one sits at the typewriter and does as little thinking as possible. It happened over and over again, and the beginner learned - when you start puzzling over an idea, and slowing down on the keys, the writing gets worse and worse.

I'm not a celebrity or near celebrity. Sometimes people will say, You're famous and that stops me right there. What does fame mean? Fame is in the eye of the beholder. So, if somebody wants to call me 'famous', that's their business. I'm just me, a guy who messes around with airplanes and writes books that make sense to him.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

The creative, loving-something life is also the healthy one. There is healing and protection in doing what makes you happy.
Richard Bach
Image
Your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip, Jonathan would say, other times, is nothing more than your thought itself, in a form you can see. Break the chains of your thought, and you break the chains of your body, too.
Richard Bach
Image
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.

It’s okay is a cosmic truth…It’s okay. If there were nothing here for us to learn, we wouldn’t bother to pay the fare.
Richard Bach
Image
Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.

Two words: Love leads. Listen to that ring of love within. If we follow that leading of love we'll be guaranteed an adventurous, positive, joyful life.

Character comes from following our highest sense of right, from trusting ideas without being sure they’ll work.

A writer, or a beginning writer, is faced by the huge walls of self-consciousness. Most people think, What if I say the wrong thing? What if I don't sound erudite and sophisticated? I'll be considered a fool. In time, with a lot of practice, you realize that's your foolishness is your gift.

There's so much to learn! And just when we think, I've got it. I really understand what's going on, we're shown a whole new stage set on which to play.

Everything you've said, everything you want to believe is already true. You may not find some of it for a while, and some of it might take longer than that, but that doesn't stop it from being true this minute!

What was the question? ...Oh. Where do I get my crazy ideas? Answer: sleep-fairy, walk-fairy, shower-fairy. Book-fairy. And in these last few years, from my wife. Now when I have questions I ask her and she tells me the answer. If you haven't already, I'd suggest you want to find your soulmate, as soon as you can. Next question?
