Richard Bach
Image
If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.

Never had I understood that I command, with absolute authority, the ship of my life!

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.

Perspective - Use It or Lose It. If you turned to this page, you're forgetting that what is going on around you is not reality. Think about that.
Richard Bach
Image
No matter how qualified you are, you won't reach a better life until you imagine it.
Richard Bach
Image
I do not enjoy writing at all. If I can turn my back on an idea, out there in the dark, if I can avoid opening the door to it, I won't even reach for a pencil.
Richard Bach
Image
Thought plus belief equals manifestation.
Richard Bach
Image
Flyers fell a certain kinship with the sight of the earth unencrusted by humanity, they want to see it that way in one sweeping view, in reassurance that nature still exists on her own, without a chain-link fence to hold her.

Shop for security over happiness and we buy it at that price.

The man who flies an airplane ... must believe in the unseen.
