Fail at love, and the other tests don't matter.
Richard Bach

Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

Just because somebody drops in on you from another dimension, don't assume they're wiser than you about anything at all, or that they can do anything better than you can do yourself. Discarnate or mortal, what matters about people is what they know.

If you want to meet someone who can fix any situation you don't like, who can bring you happiness in spite of what other people say or believe, look in a mirror, then say this magic word: 'Hello.'
Richard Bach
Image
If we must lose wife or husband when we live to our highest right, we lose an unhappy marriage as well, and we gain ourselves. But if a marriage is born between two already self-discovered, what a lovely adventure begins, hurricanes and all.
Richard Bach
Image
Everything is exactly as it is for a reason. The crumb on your table is no mystical reminder of this morning's cookie, it is there because you have chosen not to remove it. No exceptions.
Richard Bach
Image
You teach best that which you need most to learn.
Richard Bach

What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.
Richard Bach

If you're always looking at someone else, trying to imitate them, how can your natural gifts ever emerge?
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!
Richard Bach
Image
Know that ever about you stands the reality of love, and each moment you have the power to transform your world by what you have learned.

He was not bone and feather but a perfect idea of freedom and flight, limited by nothing at all
