More quotes by Richard Bach
I like that you can open up any one of my books anywhere and immediately be lost. I just love them so much.
Richard Bach
It took time to learn that the hard thing about writing is to let the story write itself, while one sits at the typewriter and does as little thinking as possible. It happened over and over again, and the beginner learned - when you start puzzling over an idea, and slowing down on the keys, the writing gets worse and worse.
Richard Bach
It’s not when you start that makes your success in the world, but when you quit.
Richard Bach
Silly ideas, worth the admission price in smiles, but they're true. Is high-energy physics interesting because it's true or because it's crazy?
Richard Bach
Hell is a place, a time, a consciousness, in which there is no love.
Richard Bach
Judge not by the form of the messenger, but the form of the message.
Richard Bach
One of the great cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience. When we hold something, anything, in our thought, then somehow coincidence leads us in the direction that we've been wishing to lead ourselves.
Richard Bach
Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
Richard Bach
The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, 'I've got responsibilities.
Richard Bach
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.
Richard Bach
We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.
Richard Bach
Boredom between two people doesn't come from being together physically. It comes from being apart mentally and spiritually.
Richard Bach
Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.
Richard Bach
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
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.
Richard Bach
No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.
Richard Bach
One of the cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience.
Richard Bach
No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it.
Richard Bach
Books arent written on whim or promises. Books are written on years turned inside out by ideas that never let go until you get them in print, and even then writings a last resort, a desperate ransom you pay to get your life back.
Richard Bach
He was not bone and feather but a perfect idea of freedom and flight, limited by nothing at all
Richard Bach
