More quotes by Richard Bach
Just because somebody drops in on you from another dimension, don't assume they're wiser than you about anything at all, or that they can do anything better than you can do yourself. Discarnate or mortal, what matters about people is what they know.
Richard Bach
Everything you've said, everything you want to believe is already true. You may not find some of it for a while, and some of it might take longer than that, but that doesn't stop it from being true this minute!
Richard Bach
It’s not when you start that makes your success in the world, but when you quit.
Richard Bach
Whatever enchants also guides and protects.
Richard Bach
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
Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today.
Richard Bach
The big thing about writing is three commands: Have fun. Don't think. Don't care.
Richard Bach
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
You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are.
Richard Bach
You are life, inventing form. No more can you die on sword or years than you can die on doorways through which you walk, one room into another. Every room gives its word for you to speak, every passage its song for you to sing.
Richard Bach
Some religions believe that there's a hierarchy, that you don't have a connection, but you must go through the shaman or the priest or whoever the religious leader is. And that's what surprises me, that some people who find a huge value in these kinds of systems also seem to enjoy ILLUSIONS. I can't figure it out.
Richard Bach
What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.
Richard Bach
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
Did you ever feel that you were missing someone you had never met?
Richard Bach
An easy life doesn't teach us anything. In the end it's the learning that matters: what we've learned and how we've grown
Richard Bach
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
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.
Richard Bach
This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make one's self popular with other birds. Even his parents were dismayed as Jonathan spent whole days alone, making hundreds of low-level glides, experimenting.
Richard Bach
In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
Richard Bach
Good and evil are not what our parents told us, not what our church tells us, or our country, not what anybody else tells us! All of us decide good and evil for ourselves, automatically, by choosing what we want to do!
Richard Bach
