And like no other sculpture in the history of art, the dead engine and dead airframe come to life at the touch of a human hand, and join their life with the pilot's own.

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
Respect for sovereignity, for privacy, for total independence. Gentle alliances against loneliness, they were, cool rational love-affairs without the love.

Everything of this life as a mortal is fiction. It seems real, but...
Richard Bach
Image
You don't love hatred and evil, of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love.

Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.

Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.

I relax my body completely, relax my mind completely, and then imagine myself at a level where anything can happen.
