More quotes by Richard Bach
Everything of this life as a mortal is fiction. It seems real, but...
Richard Bach
I think the source of our sorrow and the source of our joy are intimately entwined. Our sorrow is that we have forgotten who we are, we have forgotten we are one with that source of all life - absolutely indestructible, perfect, joyful. The source of our joy is when we remember that.
Richard Bach
Whatever enchants also guides and protects.
Richard Bach
Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
Richard Bach
Two things I do value a lot, intimacy and the capacity for joy, didn't seem to be on anyone else s list. I felt like the stranger in a strange land, and decided I'd better not marry the natives.
Richard Bach
Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
Richard Bach
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Richard Bach
You don't love hatred and evil, of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love.
Richard Bach
Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.
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
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
In the United States Christmas has become the rape of an idea.
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
Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less-advanced life forms, and they call you crazy.
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.
Richard Bach
Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.
Richard Bach
Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again
Richard Bach
Evolution made civilization steward of this planet. A hundred thousand years later, the steward stood before evolution not helper but destroyer, not healer but parasite. So evolution withdrew its gift, passed civilization by, rescued the planet from intelligence and handed it to love.
Richard Bach
Wrong turns are as important as right turns. More important, sometimes.
Richard Bach
You choose, you live the consequences. Every yes, no, maybe, creates the school you call your personal experience.
Richard Bach
