With every decision that anyone makes, the world changes. The decision that we give our consent to is the one that remains in our consciousness, but the one that we didn't make-that alternate world goes on in its own direction. So there's uncountable numbers of alternate us-es.

If you're always looking at someone else, trying to imitate them, how can your natural gifts ever emerge?
Richard Bach
Image
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.
Richard Bach
Image
Anyone desperate enough for suicide... should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try.

Richard Bach
Image
Reality lies far beyond space and time, and I need to know why.
Richard Bach
Image
In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
Richard Bach
Image
Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word?
Richard Bach
Image
I think the source of our sorrow and the source of our joy are intimately entwined. Our sorrow is that we have forgotten who we are, we have forgotten we are one with that source of all life - absolutely indestructible, perfect, joyful. The source of our joy is when we remember that.

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.

Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.

Everything of this life as a mortal is fiction. It seems real, but...

No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.

I'm not a celebrity or near celebrity. Sometimes people will say, You're famous and that stops me right there. What does fame mean? Fame is in the eye of the beholder. So, if somebody wants to call me 'famous', that's their business. I'm just me, a guy who messes around with airplanes and writes books that make sense to him.

Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
