Richard Bach

The world’s crazy, when it comes to beauty.

Respect for sovereignity, for privacy, for total independence. Gentle alliances against loneliness, they were, cool rational love-affairs without the love.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

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

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

We aim above the mark to hit the mark.

A banker is a fellow who lends his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

We are all alike, on the inside.

Surely a long life must be somewhat tedious, since we are forced to call in so many trifling things to help rid us of our time, which will never return.

Regardless of who you are or what you have been, you can be what you want to be.

A wise neuter joins with neither, but uses both as his honest interest leads him.

No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.

It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life…all of our life.

All the arguments which are brought to represent poverty as no evil show it evidently to be a great evil.

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

There is always a best way of doing everything.
