We [people] have a teacher! The teacher is ourselves! We already know everything we need to know - our challenge is to discover that we know it. Turning to gurus, I think, we become guru-dependent, no different from drug-dependent, alcohol-dependent - needing an outside force to control our lives.

I like that you can open up any one of my books anywhere and immediately be lost. I just love them so much.
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
Your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip, Jonathan would say, other times, is nothing more than your thought itself, in a form you can see. Break the chains of your thought, and you break the chains of your body, too.
Richard Bach
Image
Grief is no more necessary when we understand death than fear is necessary when we understand flying.
Richard Bach
Image
We know nothing until intuition agrees.
Richard Bach
Image
You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

My way of writing a book is completely disorganized - to hurl myself at the problem, over and over.
