More quotes by Richard Bach
If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.
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
Nobody comes to Earth to dodge problems. We come here to take 'em on.
Richard Bach
Do you ever have the feeling you're a tourist on earth?
Richard Bach
I think the source of our sorrow and the source of our joy are intimately entwined. Our sorrow is that we have forgotten who we are, we have forgotten we are one with that source of all life - absolutely indestructible, perfect, joyful. The source of our joy is when we remember that.
Richard Bach
Of course I'm a fake. We're all fakes on this whole world, pretending to be something we're not. We are not just bodies walking around, not just atoms, molecules. We are unkillable, undestroyable ideas of the IS, no matter how much we believe otherwise.
Richard Bach
In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
Richard Bach
To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there.
Richard Bach
We [Americans] are game-playing, fun-loving creatures we are the otters of the universe.
Richard Bach
Flyers fell a certain kinship with the sight of the earth unencrusted by humanity, they want to see it that way in one sweeping view, in reassurance that nature still exists on her own, without a chain-link fence to hold her.
Richard Bach
Reality lies far beyond space and time, and I need to know why.
Richard Bach
You've given up your whole life to be the person you are now. Is it worth it?
Richard Bach
When you're flying, an airplane doesn't care who you are it doesn't care how much money you make or don't make. All it cares about is: How well do you fly? How well do you know the airplane? How well do you know the sky?
Richard Bach
The highest art form of all is a human being in control of himself and his airplane in flight, urging the spirit of a machine to match his own.
Richard Bach
When you dream, all the scenery, characters, events, perils, and outcomes are built from your own consciousness, the darks and oppressions as well as the delights. Same with the world awake, though it takes you longer to build it.
Richard Bach
Dying is like diving into a deep lake on a hot day. There's the shock of that sharp, cold change, the pain of it for a second, and then accepting is a swim in reality. But after so many times, even the shock wears off.
Richard Bach
We are each given a block of marble when we begin a lifetime, and the tools to shape it into sculpture... We can drag it behind us untouched, we can pound it into gravel, we can shape it into glory.
Richard Bach
What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach
Civilization... wrecks the planet from seafloor to stratosphere.
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
