I’m here not because I am supposed to be here, or because I’m trapped here, but because I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.
Richard Bach
Image
Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word?
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
One challenge of our adventure on earth is to rise above dead systems...wars, nations, destructions...to refuse to be a part of them, and express the highest selves we know how to be.
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
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
No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it.
Richard Bach
Image
It had never gotten old for him, flying. Never gone boring. Every engine start was a new adventure, guiding the spirit of a lovely machine back into life every takeoff blending his spirit with its own to do what's never been done in history, to lift away from the ground and fly.
Richard Bach
Image
One way to pick a future is to believe it’s inevitable.
Richard Bach
Image
Any powerful idea is absolutely fascinating and absolutely useless until we choose to use it.
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
Did you ever feel that you were missing someone you had never met?
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours if they don't they never were.
Richard Bach
Image
Nobody comes to Earth to dodge problems. We come here to take 'em on.
Richard Bach
Image
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.
Richard Bach
Image
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 our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?
Richard Bach
Image
In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
Richard Bach

Humanity is not a gift of nature, it is a spiritual achievement to be earned.
