Richard Bach

"Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it."

"don't you think between here and now we will see each other once or twice?"

"True love stories never have endings."

"A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit."

"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life."

"The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly."

"No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it."

"Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?"

"Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they're yours."

"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."

"The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder."

"Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding."

"Listen to what you know instead of what you fear."

"There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts."

"You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past."

"Whatever harm I would do to another, I shall do first to myself.As I respect and am kind to myself, so shall I respect and be kind to peers, to elders, to kits.I claim for others the freedom to live as they wish, to think and believe as they will. I claim that freedom for myself.I shall make each choice and live each day to my highest sense of right."

"The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder."

"If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were."
