Quote

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.

Civilization... wrecks the planet from seafloor to stratosphere.
Richard Bach
Image
The airplane is just a bunch of sticks and wires and cloth, a tool for learning about the sky and about what kind of person I am, when I fly. An airplane stands for freedom, for joy, for the power to understand, and to demonstrate that understanding. Those things aren't destructable.
Richard Bach
Image
Mistakes - call them unexpected learning experiences.
Richard Bach
Image
Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long.
Richard Bach
Image
The man who flies an airplane ... must believe in the unseen.

Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
Richard Bach
Image
nobody means to get carried away in mediocrity, but it happens, it happens unless you think about everything you do, unless you make every choice the best one you know how to make.
Richard Bach
Image
I'm not a celebrity or near celebrity. Sometimes people will say, You're famous and that stops me right there. What does fame mean? Fame is in the eye of the beholder. So, if somebody wants to call me 'famous', that's their business. I'm just me, a guy who messes around with airplanes and writes books that make sense to him.

Shop for security over happiness and we buy it at that price.
Richard Bach
Image
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.
Richard Bach
Image
Anybody who's ever mattered, anybody who's ever been happy, anybody who's ever given any gift into the world has been a divinely selfish soul, living for his own best interest. No exceptions.
Richard Bach
Image
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. Do you think, if you say the word impossible enough times, that difficult things will suddenly become easier for you?
Richard Bach
Image
I was a microscopic life-form, infinitely large, stumbled backstage of its playhouse, caught a nanosecond glance of its own reality and nearly vaporized in shock.
Richard Bach
Image
In order to win, you must expect to win.
Richard Bach
Image
We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.
Richard Bach
Image
Silly ideas, worth the admission price in smiles, but they're true. Is high-energy physics interesting because it's true or because it's crazy?
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.
Richard Bach
Image
Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
Richard Bach
Image
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not. Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
