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
Anybody who's ever mattered, anybody who's ever been happy, anybody who's ever given any gift into the world has been a divinely selfish soul, living for his own best interest. No exceptions.

We love action and adventure, but we use it to go out and start wars and kill people.
Richard Bach
Image
One challenge of our adventure on earth is to rise above dead systems...wars, nations, destructions...to refuse to be a part of them, and express the highest selves we know how to be.
Richard Bach
Image
There's so much to learn! And just when we think, I've got it. I really understand what's going on, we're shown a whole new stage set on which to play.
