Dying is like diving into a deep lake on a hot day. There's the shock of that sharp, cold change, the pain of it for a second, and then accepting is a swim in reality. But after so many times, even the shock wears off.

More quotes by Richard Bach
Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today.
Richard Bach
The creative, loving-something life is also the healthy one. There is healing and protection in doing what makes you happy.
Richard Bach
The big thing about writing is three commands: Have fun. Don't think. Don't care.
Richard Bach
Just because somebody drops in on you from another dimension, don't assume they're wiser than you about anything at all, or that they can do anything better than you can do yourself. Discarnate or mortal, what matters about people is what they know.
Richard Bach
Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
Richard Bach
Part of us is always the observer, and no matter what, it observes. It watches us. It does not care if we are happy or unhappy, if we are sick or well, if we live or die. It’s only job is to sit there on our shoulder and pass judgment on whether we are worthwhile human beings.
Richard Bach
The man who flies an airplane ... must believe in the unseen.
Richard Bach
Respect for sovereignity, for privacy, for total independence. Gentle alliances against loneliness, they were, cool rational love-affairs without the love.
Richard Bach
We know nothing until intuition agrees.
Richard Bach
I AM! YOU ARE! AND LOVE: IS ALL: THAT MATTERS!
Richard Bach
Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.
Richard Bach
Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.
Richard Bach
Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.
Richard Bach
Compelling reason will never convince blinding emotion.
Richard Bach
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
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
Know that ever about you stands the reality of love, and each moment you have the power to transform your world by what you have learned.
Richard Bach
If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.
Richard Bach
Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.
Richard Bach
We [people] have a teacher! The teacher is ourselves! We already know everything we need to know - our challenge is to discover that we know it. Turning to gurus, I think, we become guru-dependent, no different from drug-dependent, alcohol-dependent - needing an outside force to control our lives.
