You seek problems because you need their gifts.
Richard Bach
Image
When you dream, all the scenery, characters, events, perils, and outcomes are built from your own consciousness, the darks and oppressions as well as the delights. Same with the world awake, though it takes you longer to build it.
Richard Bach
Image
Boredom between two people doesn't come from being together physically. It comes from being apart mentally and spiritually.

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.
Richard Bach

Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
Richard Bach
Image
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.

Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again
Richard Bach
Image
We love action and adventure, but we use it to go out and start wars and kill people.
Richard Bach
Image
Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today.
Richard Bach
Image
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.

Navigate by the same star, unwilling to change, and you find yourself not only off-course but lost.
