Quote

We think, sometimes, there’s not a dragon left. Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests... What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure... not only are they here-and-now, they’re all that ever lived on earth!

What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach

Your life is a treasure and you are so much more than you know.
Richard Bach

The creative, loving-something life is also the healthy one. There is healing and protection in doing what makes you happy.
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.
Richard Bach
Image
The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, 'I've got responsibilities.
Richard Bach

We design our lives through the power of choices.
Richard Bach

Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.
Richard Bach

We are each given a block of marble when we begin a lifetime, and the tools to shape it into sculpture... We can drag it behind us untouched, we can pound it into gravel, we can shape it into glory.

What was the question? ...Oh. Where do I get my crazy ideas? Answer: sleep-fairy, walk-fairy, shower-fairy. Book-fairy. And in these last few years, from my wife. Now when I have questions I ask her and she tells me the answer. If you haven't already, I'd suggest you want to find your soulmate, as soon as you can. Next question?

You choose, you live the consequences. Every yes, no, maybe, creates the school you call your personal experience.

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.
Richard Bach

You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
Richard Bach

Were we, also, hiking along some cosmic journal page? Were the events about us all part of a message we could understand, if only we found the right perspective from which to read them? Somehow, with our long series of miracles, I thought so.
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
Responsible is Able to respond, Able to answer for the way we choose to live. There's only one person we have to answer to, of course, and that is ourselves.
Richard Bach
Image
That’s what learning is, after all not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.

Of course I'm a fake. We're all fakes on this whole world, pretending to be something we're not. We are not just bodies walking around, not just atoms, molecules. We are unkillable, undestroyable ideas of the IS, no matter how much we believe otherwise.

You seek problems because you need their gifts.

Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.

Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word?
