Image
All of us are called by something in this world that attracts us. And it doesn't matter what it is - you can be an engine mechanic or an aviator or you can be someone who loves their flower garden or the world of commerce or sailboats.
Richard Bach
Image
Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck.
Richard Bach
Image
Whatever We Hold in Thought Comes True in Our Experience Like Attracts Like we experiment with the Law of Changing Appearances, to make our outer world reflect our inner.
Richard Bach
Image
No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.
Richard Bach
Image
I’m here not because I am supposed to be here, or because I’m trapped here, but because I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.
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
You seek problems because you need their gifts.
Richard Bach
Image
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 the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.
Richard Bach
Image

Richard Bach
Image
I AM! YOU ARE! AND LOVE: IS ALL: THAT MATTERS!
Richard Bach
Image
My way of writing a book is completely disorganized - to hurl myself at the problem, over and over.
Richard Bach
Image
I don't think any of my books tell the reader anything new. But they do remind, in a time that is strident and screeching about the limitations of this world and all the trouble we can get ourselves into.
Richard Bach
Image
Never had I understood that I command, with absolute authority, the ship of my life! I decide its mission and rules and discipline, at my word waits every tool and sail, every cannon, the strength of every soul on board. I'm master of a team of passionate skills to sail me through hell's own jaws the second I nod the direction to steer.
Richard Bach
Image
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
Image
It's like a pulsar inside me. There is this great burst of energy, forcing me to write, and then the star goes quiet for a time, and I think it's gone, but it's gathering energy for another burst. And I seem to be almost unwilling participants in this.
Richard Bach
Image
With every decision that anyone makes, the world changes. The decision that we give our consent to is the one that remains in our consciousness, but the one that we didn't make-that alternate world goes on in its own direction. So there's uncountable numbers of alternate us-es.
Richard Bach
Image
Character comes from following our highest sense of right, from trusting ideas without being sure they’ll work.
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
Two words: Love leads. Listen to that ring of love within. If we follow that leading of love we'll be guaranteed an adventurous, positive, joyful life.
