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

In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
Richard Bach

We're all the sons of God, or children of the Is, or ideas of the Mind, or however else you want to say it.
Richard Bach

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.

I take the paraglider to the mountain or I roll Daisy out of her hangar and I pick the prettiest part of the sky and I melt into the wing and then into the air, till I'm just soul on a sunbeam.
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].

Sometimes when learning comes before experience It doesn't make sense right away.

Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.

Flyers fell a certain kinship with the sight of the earth unencrusted by humanity, they want to see it that way in one sweeping view, in reassurance that nature still exists on her own, without a chain-link fence to hold her.

Image
Isn't it strange how much we know if only we ask ourselves instead of somebody else.

We [Americans] are game-playing, fun-loving creatures we are the otters of the universe.

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...
