The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid.We fear we will not find love,and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we don't have love we will be unhappy.
Richard Bach
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

Richard Bach
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours if they don't they never were.

Richard Bach
Like most writers, we like to find what we know and pass it along to anyone who cares. When that's done, as soon as we've said the best we can say, there's nothing else about us that's remotely interesting to anybody else, and we go back behind the walls. We can be intimate in books, we can be intimate in talks, but then we need time to be alone.
Richard Bach
If we must lose wife or husband when we live to our highest right, we lose an unhappy marriage as well, and we gain ourselves. But if a marriage is born between two already self-discovered, what a lovely adventure begins, hurricanes and all.
Richard Bach
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.
Richard Bach
You don't tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds.
Richard Bach
I don't think creativity is mine to maintain. It automatically comes when we declare that I am an expression of life, and life will express itself through me in the most playful and wonderful of ways, if I let it.
Richard Bach
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.
Richard Bach
