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!

More quotes by Richard Bach
So this world, I think, and an indefinite number of other worlds of our creation, are also - we're here for fun we're here for learning we're here for remembering who we are, and who we are, are expressions of life so absolutely linked with the life that is, always was, always will be.
Richard Bach
An easy life doesn't teach us anything. In the end it's the learning that matters: what we've learned and how we've grown
Richard Bach
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
Richard Bach
The world is a dream, you say, and it’s lovely, sometimes. Sunset. Clouds. Sky.” “No. The image is a dream. The beauty is real. Can you see the difference?
Richard Bach
Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.
Richard Bach
Wrong turns are as important as right turns. More important, sometimes.
Richard Bach
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
Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
Richard Bach
I was a microscopic life-form, infinitely large, stumbled backstage of its playhouse, caught a nanosecond glance of its own reality and nearly vaporized in shock.
Richard Bach
If you're always looking at someone else, trying to imitate them, how can your natural gifts ever emerge?
Richard Bach
Some religions believe that there's a hierarchy, that you don't have a connection, but you must go through the shaman or the priest or whoever the religious leader is. And that's what surprises me, that some people who find a huge value in these kinds of systems also seem to enjoy ILLUSIONS. I can't figure it out.
Richard Bach
Perspective - Use It or Lose It. If you turned to this page, you're forgetting that what is going on around you is not reality. Think about that.
Richard Bach
How much to learn if we could spend one hour, spend twenty minutes, with the us we will become! How much could we say to the us we were.
Richard Bach
My way of writing a book is completely disorganized - to hurl myself at the problem, over and over.
Richard Bach
One challenge of our adventure on earth is to rise above dead systems...wars, nations, destructions...to refuse to be a part of them, and express the highest selves we know how to be.
Richard Bach
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?
Richard Bach
No matter how qualified you are, you won't reach a better life until you imagine it.
Richard Bach
Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
Richard Bach
Part of us is always the observer, and no matter what, it observes. It watches us. It does not care if we are happy or unhappy, if we are sick or well, if we live or die. It’s only job is to sit there on our shoulder and pass judgment on whether we are worthwhile human beings.
Richard Bach
Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.
