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
Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.
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.
Richard Bach
Image
One challenge of our adventure on earth is to rise above dead systems...wars, nations, destructions...to refuse to be a part of them, and express the highest selves we know how to be.
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.

Live enough of what you've always dreamed of doing, and there's no room left for feeling bad.
Richard Bach
Image
Navigate by the same star, unwilling to change, and you find yourself not only off-course but lost.

Image
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.
Richard Bach
Image
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
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
In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
Richard Bach
Image
You seek problems because you need their gifts.
Richard Bach
Image
I relax my body completely, relax my mind completely, and then imagine myself at a level where anything can happen.
Richard Bach
Image
Shop for security over happiness and we buy it at that price.
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
If we must lose wife or husband when we live to our highest right, we lose an unhappy marriage as well, and we gain ourselves. But if a marriage is born between two already self-discovered, what a lovely adventure begins, hurricanes and all.

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?

Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less-advanced life forms, and they call you crazy.

Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word?

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.
