Image
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
Image
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
Image
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
Richard Bach
Image
One challenge of our adventure on earth is to rise above dead systems...wars, nations, destructions...to refuse to be a part of them, and express the highest selves we know how to be.
Richard Bach
Image
I think there's an invisible principle of living too. If we believe we're guided through every step of our lives, we are. It's a lovely sight, watching it work.
Richard Bach
Image
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.

Image
How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently.
Richard Bach

Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck.
Richard Bach
Image
Believe you know all the answers, and you know all the answers. Believe you're a master, and you are.
Richard Bach
Image
If you're always looking at someone else, trying to imitate them, how can your natural gifts ever emerge?
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
Fail at love, and the other tests don't matter.
Richard Bach
Image
If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.

Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again
