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
What matters is how I use what I know, every minute of every day how I use it to remember, in the midst of the game.
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
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
No matter how qualified you are, you won't reach a better life until you imagine it.
Richard Bach
Judge not by the form of the messenger, but the form of the message.
Richard Bach
And behind it lies not blind chance but a principle that works to help us understand, a thousand coincidences and friends come to show us the way when the problem seems too hard to solve alone. Problems for overcoming. Freedom for proving. And, as long as we believe in our dream, nothing by chance.
Richard Bach
Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.
Richard Bach

Richard Bach
Life tells you nothing, it shows you everything.
Richard Bach

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
The world is a dream, you say, and it’s lovely, sometimes. Sunset. Clouds. Sky.” “No. The image is a dream. The beauty is real. Can you see the difference?
Richard Bach
Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.
Richard Bach
Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck.
Richard Bach
You choose, you live the consequences. Every yes, no, maybe, creates the school you call your personal experience.
Richard Bach
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
Richard Bach
Does anybody learn writing, or do they just touch someone who lets them see the power of the deleted word?
Richard Bach
Look in the mirror and one thing is sure: what we see is not who we are.
Richard Bach
nobody means to get carried away in mediocrity, but it happens, it happens unless you think about everything you do, unless you make every choice the best one you know how to make.
