Quote

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

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.
Richard Bach

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.
Richard Bach
Image
I think there's an invisible principle of living too. If we believe we're guided through every step of our lives, we are. It's a lovely sight, watching it work.
Richard Bach
Image
I like that you can open up any one of my books anywhere and immediately be lost. I just love them so much.
Richard Bach
Image
One of the cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience.
Richard Bach
Image
I don't think any of my books tell the reader anything new. But they do remind, in a time that is strident and screeching about the limitations of this world and all the trouble we can get ourselves into.
Richard Bach
Image
We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.
Richard Bach
Image
Then be sure of one thing: The Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have. The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't.
Richard Bach
Image
We think, sometimes, there’s not a dragon left. Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests... What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure... not only are they here-and-now, they’re all that ever lived on earth!
Richard Bach
Image
What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach
Image
And behind it lies not blind chance but a principle that works to help us understand, a thousand coincidences and friends come to show us the way when the problem seems too hard to solve alone. Problems for overcoming. Freedom for proving. And, as long as we believe in our dream, nothing by chance.
Richard Bach
Image
My airplane is quiet, and for a moment still an alien, still a stranger to the ground, I am home.
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
Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.
Richard Bach

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

Nobody comes to Earth to dodge problems. We come here to take 'em on.
Richard Bach
Image
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.
Richard Bach
Image
Shop for security over happiness and we buy it at that price.
Richard Bach
Image
Of course I'm a fake. We're all fakes on this whole world, pretending to be something we're not. We are not just bodies walking around, not just atoms, molecules. We are unkillable, undestroyable ideas of the IS, no matter how much we believe otherwise.
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.
