Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.
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
Money is a great isolator. In fact, we don't even need to have money or make money, we only need to be perceived as having money to be isolated in the strangest ways from most of the community around us. It reaches the point where a person with money spends a great deal of time reacting to people who are reacting to the money.

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!

Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.
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
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
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
True love stories never have endings.
Richard Bach
Image
Look in the mirror and one thing is sure: what we see is not who we are.
Richard Bach
Image
Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
Richard Bach
Image
Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck.
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
Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
Richard Bach
Image
You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
Richard Bach

Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.
