Richard Bach

Richard Bach
Image
He was not bone and feather but a perfect idea of freedom and flight, limited by nothing at all
Richard Bach
Image
It’s okay is a cosmic truth…It’s okay. If there were nothing here for us to learn, we wouldn’t bother to pay the fare.
Richard Bach
Image
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
Richard Bach
Image
Flyers fell a certain kinship with the sight of the earth unencrusted by humanity, they want to see it that way in one sweeping view, in reassurance that nature still exists on her own, without a chain-link fence to hold her.
Richard Bach
Image
Nobody comes to Earth to dodge problems. We come here to take 'em on.
Richard Bach
Image
You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are.
Richard Bach
Image
Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less-advanced life forms, and they call you crazy.
Richard Bach
Image
Dying is like diving into a deep lake on a hot day. There's the shock of that sharp, cold change, the pain of it for a second, and then accepting is a swim in reality. But after so many times, even the shock wears off.
Richard Bach
Image
What matters is how I use what I know, every minute of every day how I use it to remember, in the midst of the game.
