What matters is how I use what I know, every minute of every day how I use it to remember, in the midst of the game.
Richard Bach
Image
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Richard Bach

As you believe, so it is for you.

Image
When you're flying, an airplane doesn't care who you are it doesn't care how much money you make or don't make. All it cares about is: How well do you fly? How well do you know the airplane? How well do you know the sky?
Richard Bach
Image
Whatever it is that calls us, that's our path. And as we walk that path, we have a chance to shine forth who we are. It affects other people around us.
Richard Bach
Image
We love action and adventure, but we use it to go out and start wars and kill people.
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
Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another.
Richard Bach
Image
It's like a pulsar inside me. There is this great burst of energy, forcing me to write, and then the star goes quiet for a time, and I think it's gone, but it's gathering energy for another burst. And I seem to be almost unwilling participants in this.

Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that a gull's life is so short, and with those gone from his thought, he lived a long fine life indeed.
Richard Bach
Image
Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less-advanced life forms, and they call you crazy.
Richard Bach
Image
It’s not when you start that makes your success in the world, but when you quit.
Richard Bach
Image
Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.
Richard Bach
Image
How is it we’re the lucky ones, living a life that the children-we-were took for dreams?
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
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.
Richard Bach
Image
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.

A tiny change today brings a dramatically different tomorrow.
