The creative, loving-something life is also the healthy one. There is healing and protection in doing what makes you happy.
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.

Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.

We [people] have a teacher! The teacher is ourselves! We already know everything we need to know - our challenge is to discover that we know it. Turning to gurus, I think, we become guru-dependent, no different from drug-dependent, alcohol-dependent - needing an outside force to control our lives.

Sometimes when learning comes before experience It doesn't make sense right away.
Richard Bach
Image
With every decision that anyone makes, the world changes. The decision that we give our consent to is the one that remains in our consciousness, but the one that we didn't make-that alternate world goes on in its own direction. So there's uncountable numbers of alternate us-es.
Richard Bach
Image
What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach
Image
The big thing about writing is three commands: Have fun. Don't think. Don't care.
Richard Bach
Image
A tiny change today brings a dramatically different tomorrow.
Richard Bach
Image
Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
Richard Bach
Image
Did you ever feel that you were missing someone you had never met?
Richard Bach
Image
We love action and adventure, but we use it to go out and start wars and kill people.
Richard Bach
Image
You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

My way of writing a book is completely disorganized - to hurl myself at the problem, over and over.
Richard Bach

Boredom between two people doesn't come from being together physically. It comes from being apart mentally and spiritually.
