One of the cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience.
Richard Bach

Mistakes - call them unexpected learning experiences.
Richard Bach
Image
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

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.

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.

Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck.
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
Every problem in your life carries a gift inside it.
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
I was a microscopic life-form, infinitely large, stumbled backstage of its playhouse, caught a nanosecond glance of its own reality and nearly vaporized in shock.
Richard Bach
Image
One way to pick a future is to believe it’s inevitable.
Richard Bach
Image
We are each given a block of marble when we begin a lifetime, and the tools to shape it into sculpture... We can drag it behind us untouched, we can pound it into gravel, we can shape it into glory.
Richard Bach
Image
If we believe that we're separated from someone, though they stand in the same room with us, we're separated. If we believe that we're together, if we believe that they are with us, if we listen through our inner senses, there's a chance we'll hear.
Richard Bach
Image
In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
Richard Bach

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
