More quotes by Richard Bach
Why fly? Simple. I'm not happy unless there's some room between me and the ground.
Richard Bach
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.
Richard Bach
I do not enjoy writing at all. If I can turn my back on an idea, out there in the dark, if I can avoid opening the door to it, I won't even reach for a pencil.
Richard Bach
Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.
Richard Bach
Wrong turns are as important as right turns. More important, sometimes.
Richard Bach
I think the source of our sorrow and the source of our joy are intimately entwined. Our sorrow is that we have forgotten who we are, we have forgotten we are one with that source of all life - absolutely indestructible, perfect, joyful. The source of our joy is when we remember that.
Richard Bach
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
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.
Richard Bach
We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.
Richard Bach
Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.
Richard Bach
A moment later Jonathan's body wavered in the air, shimmering, and began to go transparent. Don't let them spread silly rumors about me, or make me a god. O.K., Fletch? I'm a seagull. I like to fly, maybe...
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.
Richard Bach
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.
Richard Bach
True love stories never have endings.
Richard Bach
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
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.
Richard Bach
We [Americans] are game-playing, fun-loving creatures we are the otters of the universe.
Richard Bach
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
Richard Bach
Compelling reason will never convince blinding emotion.
Richard Bach
Fear not, nor be dismayed at the appearance that is darkness, at the disguise that is evil, at the empty cloak that is death, for you have picked these for your challenges. They are stones on which you choose to whet the keen edge of your spirit.
