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
You teach best that which you need most to learn.
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
Compelling reason will never convince blinding emotion.
Richard Bach
Two thousand years ago, five thousand, they didn't have a word for imagination, and faith was the best they could come up with for a pretty solemn bunch of followers.
Richard Bach
I'm not a celebrity or near celebrity. Sometimes people will say, You're famous and that stops me right there. What does fame mean? Fame is in the eye of the beholder. So, if somebody wants to call me 'famous', that's their business. I'm just me, a guy who messes around with airplanes and writes books that make sense to him.
Richard Bach
Like everything else, Fletcher. Practice.
Richard Bach
What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours if they don't they never were.
Richard Bach
Nobody comes to Earth to dodge problems. We come here to take 'em on.
Richard Bach
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
Anyone desperate enough for suicide... should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try.
Richard Bach
Some religions believe that there's a hierarchy, that you don't have a connection, but you must go through the shaman or the priest or whoever the religious leader is. And that's what surprises me, that some people who find a huge value in these kinds of systems also seem to enjoy ILLUSIONS. I can't figure it out.
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
Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.
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
No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.
Richard Bach
Then be sure of one thing: The Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have. The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't.
Richard Bach
The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't.
Richard Bach
The big thing about writing is three commands: Have fun. Don't think. Don't care.
Richard Bach
You're never given a dream without the power to make it true.
