Civilization... wrecks the planet from seafloor to stratosphere.
Richard Bach
Image
Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
Richard Bach
Image
Sometimes when learning comes before experience It doesn't make sense right away.
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
The only true law is that which leads to freedom.
Richard Bach
Image
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.
Richard Bach
Image
We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.
Richard Bach
Image
Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.
Richard Bach
Image
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.

Mistakes - call them unexpected learning experiences.
Richard Bach
Image
Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.

Part of us is always the observer, and no matter what, it observes. It watches us. It does not care if we are happy or unhappy, if we are sick or well, if we live or die. It’s only job is to sit there on our shoulder and pass judgment on whether we are worthwhile human beings.
Richard Bach
Image
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.

Navigate by the same star, unwilling to change, and you find yourself not only off-course but lost.
Richard Bach
Image
And like no other sculpture in the history of art, the dead engine and dead airframe come to life at the touch of a human hand, and join their life with the pilot's own.
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.
Richard Bach
Image
We [people] have a teacher! The teacher is ourselves! We already know everything we need to know - our challenge is to discover that we know it. Turning to gurus, I think, we become guru-dependent, no different from drug-dependent, alcohol-dependent - needing an outside force to control our lives.

You've given up your whole life to be the person you are now. Is it worth it?
Richard Bach
Image
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.
