 Richard David Bach - “'Do you know what I learned from you I learned what is possible, and now I must hold out for what I thought we had. I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me. That or nothing. I realized that what I'm looking for is not what you're looking for. You don't want what I want.' 'What do you think I want' I asked. 'Exactly what you have. Many women you know a little and don't care very much about. Superficial flirtations, mutual use, no chance of love. That's my idea of hell. Hell is a place, a time, a consciousness, Richard, in which there is no love. Horrible Leave me out of it.'” Richard David Bach - “For a moment, off balance, was I annoyed Anger is always fear, I thought, and fear is always fear of loss. Would I lose myself if he made those choices It took a second to settle down I'd lose nothing. They'd be his wishes, not mine, and he's free to live as he wants. The loss would come if I dared force him, tried to live for him and me as well. There'd be disaster worse than life on a bar stool.” Richard David Bach - “The conversation between Fletcher and Jonathan Livingston Seagull is centered on why some have achieved more than others ... are they divine ... ahead of their times ... Fletcher says, Well, this kind of flying has always been here to be learned by anybody who wanted to discover it thats got nothing to do with time. Were ahead of the fashion, maybe. Ahead of the way most gulls fly. Poor Fletch. Dont you believe what your eyes are telling you All they show is limitations. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and youll see the way to fly.” Richard David Bach - “If we must lose wife or husband when we live to our highest right, we lose an unhappy marriage as well, and we gain ourselves. But if a marriage is born between two already self-discovered, what a lovely adventure begins, hurricanes and all” Richard David Bach - “Live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world even if what is published is not true.” Richard David Bach - “Argue for your limitations and they're yours.” Richard David Bach - “Life does not require us to be consistent, cruel, patient, helpful, angry, rational, thoughtless, loving, rash, open-minded, neurotic, careful, rigid, tolerant, wasteful, rich, downtrodden, gentle, sick, considerate, funny, stupid, healthy, greedy, beautiful, lazy, responsive, foolish, sharing, pressured, intimate, hedonistic, industrious, manipulative, insightful, capricious, wise, selfish, kind or sacrificed. Life does, however, require us to live with the consequences of our choices.” Richard David Bach - “Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.” Richard David Bach - “Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know it just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.” Richard David Bach - “Two things I do value a lot, intimacy and the capacity for joy, didn't seem to be on anyone else's list. I felt like the stranger in a strange land, and decided I'd better not marry the natives.” Richard David Bach - “What if somebody came along who could teach me how my world works and how to control it What if I could meet a super-advanced ... what if a Siddhartha or a Jesus came into our time, with power over the illusions of the world because he knew the reality behind them And what if I could meet him in person, if he were flying a biplane, for instance, and landed in the same meadow with me” Richard David Bach - “Good and evil are not what our parents told us, not what our church tells us, or our country, not what anybody else tells us All of us decide good and evil for ourselves, automatically, by choosing what we want to do” Richard David Bach - “That she won the game startled me cold. The way she won, the pattern of her thought on the chessboard, charmed me warm again and then some.” Richard David Bach - “Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.” Richard David Bach - “Each of us is in truth an unlimited idea of freedom. Everything that limits us we have to put aside.” Richard David Bach - “What was the question ... Oh. Where do I get my crazy ideas Answer sleep-fairy, walk-fairy, shower-fairy. Book-fairy. And in these last few years, from my wife. Now when I have questions I ask her and she tells me the answer. If you haven't already, I'd suggest you want to find your soulmate, as soon as you can. Next question'” Richard David Bach - “She didn't mean to be sexy that moment, but even a winter nightgown couldn't hide that lovely outline. When will I outgrow my simple-minded fascination with the form she had happened to choose for her body Never, I thought” Richard David Bach - “If we change in different directions, then we don't have any future anyway, do we I think it's possible for two people to change together, to grow together and enrich instead of diminish each other. The sum of one and one, if they're the right ones, can be infinity But so often one person drags the other down one person wants to go up like a balloon and the other's a dead weight. I've always wondered what it would be like if both people, if a woman and a man both wanted to go up like balloons” Richard David Bach - “We're different, we're the same. You thought you'd never find a word to say to a woman who didn't fly airplanes. I couldn't imagine myself spending time with a man who didn't love music. Could it be it's not as important to be alike as it is to be curious Because we're different, we can have the fun of exchanging worlds, giving our loves and excitements to each other. You can learn music, I can learn flying. And that's only the beginning. I think it would go on for us as long as we live.” Richard David Bach - “The world's crazy, when it comes to beauty.” Richard David Bach - “Here's how the people live here, in big house-shaped boxes to keep off 'rain' and 'snow,' holes cut in the sides so they can see out. They move around in smaller boxes, painted different colours, with wheels on the corners. They need this box-culture because each person thinks of herself and himself as locked in a box called a 'body,' arms and legs, fingers to move pencils and tools, languages because they've forgotten how to communicate, eyes because they've forgotten how to see. Odd little planet. Wish you were here. Home soon.” Richard David Bach - “You have the freedom to be yourself, your true self, here and now, and nothing can stand in your way.” Richard David Bach - “Other people think they know what you are glamour, sex, money, power, love. It may be a press agent dream which has nothing to do with you, maybe it's something you don't even like, but that's what they think you are. People rush at you from all sides, they think they're going to get these things if they touch you. It's scary, so you build walls around yourself, thick glass walls while you're trying to think, trying to catch your breath. You know who you are inside, but people outside see something different. You can choose to become the image, and let go of who you are, or continue as you are and feel phony when you play the image.” Richard David Bach - “Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is ... impossible.” Richard David Bach - “Respect for sovereignity, for privacy, for total independence. Gentle alliances against loneliness, they were, cool rational love-affairs without the love.”
