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
Image
Why fly? Simple. I'm not happy unless there's some room between me and the ground.
Richard Bach
Image

Richard Bach

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.
Richard Bach
Image
You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
Richard Bach
Image
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. Do you think, if you say the word impossible enough times, that difficult things will suddenly become easier for you?
Richard Bach
Image
Anyone desperate enough for suicide... should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try.
Richard Bach
Image
The creative, loving-something life is also the healthy one. There is healing and protection in doing what makes you happy.
Richard Bach
Image
Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.
