Image
Do you ever have the feeling you're a tourist on earth?
Richard Bach
Image
Everything is exactly as it is for a reason. The crumb on your table is no mystical reminder of this morning's cookie, it is there because you have chosen not to remove it. No exceptions.
Richard Bach
Image
Judge not by the form of the messenger, but the form of the message.
Richard Bach
Image
Two things I do value a lot, intimacy and the capacity for joy, didn't seem to be on anyone else s list. I felt like the stranger in a strange land, and decided I'd better not marry the natives.
Richard Bach
Image
nobody means to get carried away in mediocrity, but it happens, it happens unless you think about everything you do, unless you make every choice the best one you know how to make.
Richard Bach
Image
How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently.
Richard Bach
Image
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
Richard Bach
Image
We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.
Richard Bach
Image
I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.
Richard Bach
Image
Respect for sovereignity, for privacy, for total independence. Gentle alliances against loneliness, they were, cool rational love-affairs without the love.
Richard Bach
Image
Our disasters have been some of the best things that ever happened to us. And what we swore were blessings have been some of the worst.
Richard Bach
Image
By your choice dwell you now in the world which you have created. What you hold in your heart shall be true, and what you most admire, that shall you become.
Richard Bach
Image
Your life is a treasure and you are so much more than you know.
Richard Bach
Image
My way of writing a book is completely disorganized - to hurl myself at the problem, over and over.
Richard Bach
Image
The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.
Richard Bach
Image
Whatever enchants also guides and protects.
Richard Bach
Image
Just be who you are, calm and clear and bright. Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute is this what I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn, as well.
Richard Bach
Image
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.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
