I do everything myself, from engine start to engine shutdown. In a war, I will face alone the missiles and the flak and the small-arms fire over the front lines. If I die, I will die alone.
Richard Bach

More quotes by Richard Bach
A drug for everything is madness. Legal or not, prescribed or not, over-counter under-counter bought for blood on street-corners-every pill separates us from knowing our own completion and from being taught by what's true.
Richard Bach
We are each given a block of marble when we begin a lifetime, and the tools to shape it into sculpture... We can drag it behind us untouched, we can pound it into gravel, we can shape it into glory.
Richard Bach
Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today.
Richard Bach
The only true law is that which leads to freedom.
Richard Bach
Money is a great isolator. In fact, we don't even need to have money or make money, we only need to be perceived as having money to be isolated in the strangest ways from most of the community around us. It reaches the point where a person with money spends a great deal of time reacting to people who are reacting to the money.
Richard Bach
Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another.
Richard Bach
Boredom between two people doesn't come from being together physically. It comes from being apart mentally and spiritually.
Richard Bach
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
Richard Bach
Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less-advanced life forms, and they call you crazy.
Richard Bach
Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.
Richard Bach
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.
Richard Bach
Reason and intellect are opening wedges in an understanding of reality.
Richard Bach
Reality lies far beyond space and time, and I need to know why.
Richard Bach
Two thousand years ago, five thousand, they didn't have a word for imagination, and faith was the best they could come up with for a pretty solemn bunch of followers.
Richard Bach
You've given up your whole life to be the person you are now. Is it worth it?
Richard Bach
Before you'll change, something important must be at risk.
Richard Bach
What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.
Richard Bach
We think, sometimes, there’s not a dragon left. Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests... What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure... not only are they here-and-now, they’re all that ever lived on earth!
Richard Bach
How is it we’re the lucky ones, living a life that the children-we-were took for dreams?
Richard Bach
How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently.
