Richard Bach
This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make one's self popular with other birds. Even his parents were dismayed as Jonathan spent whole days alone, making hundreds of low-level glides, experimenting.
Richard Bach

Richard Bach
Look in the mirror and one thing is sure: what we see is not who we are.
Richard Bach
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.

The creative, loving-something life is also the healthy one. There is healing and protection in doing what makes you happy.
Richard Bach
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
Richard Bach
There is something to astrology for those who believe in astrology, as there is something to medicine for those who believe in medicine. Every system works when we give our heart to it.
Richard Bach
