More quotes by Richard Bach
There are two tests that we [writers] have for all of our writing: So What? and Who Cares? There is an answer to both. The answer to Who Cares is that a reader cares, if the writing is good. The answer to So What is that these ideas give us completely new understanding, change our sense of who we [people] are and why we're here [on this planet].
Richard Bach
Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
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
Part of us is always the observer, and no matter what, it observes. It watches us. It does not care if we are happy or unhappy, if we are sick or well, if we live or die. It’s only job is to sit there on our shoulder and pass judgment on whether we are worthwhile human beings.
Richard Bach
Life's battles don't always go to the strongest or fastest sooner or later those who win are those who think they can.
Richard Bach
What matters is how I use what I know, every minute of every day how I use it to remember, in the midst of the game.
Richard Bach
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
Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck.
Richard Bach
Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word?
Richard Bach
How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently.
Richard Bach
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
Like everything else, Fletcher. Practice.
Richard Bach
The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves.
Richard Bach
Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.
Richard Bach
One of the great cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience. When we hold something, anything, in our thought, then somehow coincidence leads us in the direction that we've been wishing to lead ourselves.
Richard Bach
Everything you've said, everything you want to believe is already true. You may not find some of it for a while, and some of it might take longer than that, but that doesn't stop it from being true this minute!
Richard Bach
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
Richard Bach
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
Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
Richard Bach
Judge not by the form of the messenger, but the form of the message.
Richard Bach
