What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.
Richard Bach

You don't love hatred and evil, of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love.
Richard Bach
Image
Reason and intellect are opening wedges in an understanding of reality.
Richard Bach
Image
The airplane is just a bunch of sticks and wires and cloth, a tool for learning about the sky and about what kind of person I am, when I fly. An airplane stands for freedom, for joy, for the power to understand, and to demonstrate that understanding. Those things aren't destructable.

The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves.
Richard Bach
Image
How is it we’re the lucky ones, living a life that the children-we-were took for dreams?

It took time to learn that the hard thing about writing is to let the story write itself, while one sits at the typewriter and does as little thinking as possible. It happened over and over again, and the beginner learned - when you start puzzling over an idea, and slowing down on the keys, the writing gets worse and worse.

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.
Richard Bach

Thought plus belief equals manifestation.
Richard Bach
Image
The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't.
Richard Bach

Before you'll change, something important must be at risk.
Richard Bach
Image
When you dream, all the scenery, characters, events, perils, and outcomes are built from your own consciousness, the darks and oppressions as well as the delights. Same with the world awake, though it takes you longer to build it.
Richard Bach
Image
Life's battles don't always go to the strongest or fastest sooner or later those who win are those who think they can.
Richard Bach
Image
The man who flies an airplane ... must believe in the unseen.
Richard Bach

That’s what learning is, after all not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.

Silly ideas, worth the admission price in smiles, but they're true. Is high-energy physics interesting because it's true or because it's crazy?
Richard Bach

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.
