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!

True enjoy stories never ever have endings.

Learning is finding out what you already know.
Richard Bach
Image
There are two tests that we [writers] have for all of our writing: So What? and Who Cares? There is an answer to both. The answer to Who Cares is that a reader cares, if the writing is good. The answer to So What is that these ideas give us completely new understanding, change our sense of who we [people] are and why we're here [on this planet].

A tiny change today brings a dramatically different tomorrow.

Thought plus belief equals manifestation.

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

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.

Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.

Humanity is not a gift of nature, it is a spiritual achievement to be earned.
Richard Bach
Image
I do everything myself, from engine start to engine shutdown. In a war, I will face alone the missiles and the flak and the small-arms fire over the front lines. If I die, I will die alone.
Richard Bach

Your life is a treasure and you are so much more than you know.
Richard Bach
Image
You don't tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds.
Richard Bach
Image
Good and evil are not what our parents told us, not what our church tells us, or our country, not what anybody else tells us! All of us decide good and evil for ourselves, automatically, by choosing what we want to do!
Richard Bach
Image
For pilots sometimes see behind the curtain, behind the veil of gossamer velvet, and find the truth behind man, the force behind a universe.
Richard Bach
Image
Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word?
Richard Bach

In order to win, you must expect to win.

No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.

Navigate by the same star, unwilling to change, and you find yourself not only off-course but lost.
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.

Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
