Image
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
Image
Your harshest truths are dreams, and your gentlest dreams are true.
Richard Bach
Image
This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make one's self popular with other birds. Even his parents were dismayed as Jonathan spent whole days alone, making hundreds of low-level glides, experimenting.
Richard Bach
Image
Never had I understood that I command, with absolute authority, the ship of my life! I decide its mission and rules and discipline, at my word waits every tool and sail, every cannon, the strength of every soul on board. I'm master of a team of passionate skills to sail me through hell's own jaws the second I nod the direction to steer.
Richard Bach

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.

Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute is this what I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn, as well.
Richard Bach
Image
I don't think creativity is mine to maintain. It automatically comes when we declare that I am an expression of life, and life will express itself through me in the most playful and wonderful of ways, if I let it.
Richard Bach
Image
You teach best that which you need most to learn.
Richard Bach
Image
How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently.
Richard Bach
Image
No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.
Richard Bach
Image
The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.
Richard Bach
Image
Thought plus belief equals manifestation.
Richard Bach
Image
The highest art form of all is a human being in control of himself and his airplane in flight, urging the spirit of a machine to match his own.
Richard Bach
Image
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.
Richard Bach
Image
Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again
Richard Bach
Image
Look in the mirror and one thing is sure: what we see is not who we are.
Richard Bach
Image
Fail at love, and the other tests don't matter.
Richard Bach
Image
Nobody comes to Earth to dodge problems. We come here to take 'em on.

It’s not when you start that makes your success in the world, but when you quit.
