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

You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

Like most writers, we like to find what we know and pass it along to anyone who cares. When that's done, as soon as we've said the best we can say, there's nothing else about us that's remotely interesting to anybody else, and we go back behind the walls. We can be intimate in books, we can be intimate in talks, but then we need time to be alone.

Richard Bach

In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
Richard Bach
Image
We're all the sons of God, or children of the Is, or ideas of the Mind, or however else you want to say it.
Richard Bach
Image
Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.
Richard Bach
Image
We love action and adventure, but we use it to go out and start wars and kill people.
Richard Bach

The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, 'I've got responsibilities.
Richard Bach
Image
Rebuilding us. Isn't that what the spirit requires, when we climb over the wreckage of our lives, sometimes, we go on to make our lives our own affirmation? We are perfect expressions of perfect Love, here and now. There is no permanent injury.
Richard Bach
Image
Reality lies far beyond space and time, and I need to know why.
Richard Bach
Image
Reputation is what people think you are. Character is who you really are. Take care of your character and your reputation will take care of itself. The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work.
Richard Bach
Image
Some choices we live not only once but a thousand times over, remembering them for the rest of our lives.
